Kath,
Thanks for the kind and beautiful words on this day for veterans.

"He feels every note of the National Anthem vibrate through his body while at rigid attention, while tempering the burning desire to 'square-away ' those around him who haven't bothered to stand, remove their hat, or even stop talking. In an odd twist, day in and day out, far from home, he defends their right to be disrespectful. Just as did his Father, Grandfather, and Great- grandfather, he is paying the price for our freedom. Beardless or not, he is not a boy. He is the American Fighting Man that has kept this country free for over 200 years. "
Once at a Sonics game in Seattle I hollered at the color guard to get in step. Some butthole in front of me wrote a check with his mouth that his ass couldn`t cover when he turned around and dogged me and the military. I was escorted to the curb when I cold-cocked him. Didn`t even get to drink my 1st beer
