Date men from United States / Alabama / Hampton Cove, 63 year old

Date someone special from Hampton Cove, United States. I'm a civil engineer working for the US Army Corps of Engineers in Huntsville, Alabama and I've just returned from a 6-month tour in Afghanistan as a Corps volunteer. It was an outstanding professional experience, but I feel, considering that I spent 3.5 years as a volunteer in Iraq plus 6 months in Afghanistan over the past 5 years, I have done my part for our country, I don’t feel the need to volunteer again.
My primary interest and hobby is international travel. I've been to 52 countries (there is an interesting story behind why I would even know that number) and lived approximately 4 years each in Germany, Japan, and Korea. For me there is little that is more exciting than going to a strange land and learning firsthand the history, the customs, the politics, and the geography of a people and a nation; of eating the local foods; and talking to the people about their hopes and dreams within their culture and their view of their country and others. As for my other interests: I enjoy long conversations on almost any subject, going to movies and the theater, reading, discussing current events, walking/hiking, casual bicycling, and eating at nice restaurants.
I take special pride in my two wonderful teen age boys. One has just joined the Air Force and the other is an honor student in his second year in high school who lives with his mother in Virginia. They are fine young men.
I believe myself to be a kind person, a caring person, an honorable person, and an honest and sincere person. I'm told I have a good sense of humor. As for the type of lady I am looking for, I seek an enjoyable friendship and rewarding companionship first and foremost. If more is meant to be, I am open to that prospect.
If you are looking for the type of person I have described above, then I could the man for you!
