[Vision2020] Something to Ponder

[Tom Hansen]

Mr. Rumelhart -

Mr. Velarde brought up family history of military service as excuse to act
poorly.  I was simply responding to it, ok?  If he wishes to go further
down that "road", I will be more than glad to accompany him and we can
discuss my father's combat experience in WW2, as well as my paternal
grandfather's WW1 experience in the signal corps.

OK?
