Dear Becky –
We’re having an absolute blast here in Portland, Oregon. Every day we’ve visited pubs, toured breweries and wineries! I tell you, once I get home from this alcoholic lark I’m going on a diet for sure! I have eaten too much, drunken too much and it shows! Ah, but the seafood is fabulous! Stuffed sole, pecan-crusted halibut, alder-planked salmon, and the most superb oysters I’ve ever tasted! And just the right wines and microbrews to pair with them. Last night I drank too much of a delicious dark ale – like a stout but with tasty roasted malts and a hoppy finish. You would have loved it. We were at The Lucky Labrador last night and will go there again tonight. Hope I still have liver function by the end of this trip! Wish you were here.
Love,
Sis

Spoiler alert: I put my tentative answer in white. C-bean, I put a question for you.

Yup. And the other name is from before he emigrated! I think you overlooked that one, Jackie. You shouldn't have passed on the dark ale, let alone the stout.

Just in case it's my turn (and before the subject matter turns stale) here's one:
“So it’s Veterans’ Day, is it?” said the old man in the retirement home after spitting his quid into a potted plant.
“Yes, it is,” replied the nurse, “and I told you not to spit all over the place. That’s why I gave you that jar.”
Headstrong as ever, the old man grunted his disdain. “In my day,” he said, “I was a warrior. Whenever I wanted to, I just let fly. Boys looked up to me in that uniform; men stepped aside when I walked by. And the women! Some gal would wink at me, I’d sidle over and nibble at her neck, and before you knew it we’d... well, I’m sure you get the picture.”
“Don’t start! I get the picture, ok, but today we have professional soldiers and sailors, marines and airmen. Nobody calls them warriors anymore.”
“Well, I was a warrior, dammit, and we were called a lot worse than that.”
In fact , there are six slang names for GI’s in this puzzle in honor of our veterans, who were and are warriors in the ancient tradition no matter what we may call them.
