摘要

IT'S OFTEN SAID THAT the only time people never say anything bad about a person is at their funeral. I can't yet vouch for the accuracy of that perceived wisdom, but it might also be true of reaching retirement. It has been a humbling experience as I prepare to leave military service to hear again and again what a tremendous fellow I am. (We all know differently.) While it would be folly for me to take seriously all of those kind words, I appreciate the sentiment. But as I reach the end of a 50-year career in uniform, I am less inclined to think about my service than about how the National Guard from which I retire is very different from the one in which I enlisted in 1967.
