Default my apologies....

I apologize for my remarks recently. I will try to explain...

November is a month of mixed emotions for me...Veteran's Day ( remembering those veterans alive and dead....also my grandfather who was in the trenches on 11/11/1918..and regrets that I didn't talk to him more about it )...Nov. 20 ( The Great American Smokeout ).. my parents both had their lives ravaged by nicotine addiction...I have nothing but contempt for this industry...my birthday ( also the anniversary...on my 21st birthday... of my trip to Vietnam )...this year 55 ....eligible for retirement !! )......1987 ( 'nuf sed )...our wedding anniversary ( 31 years ! )...Thanksgiving...

My family and I have been thru quite an ordeal the past 3 years.

I wanted you all to know that you have been one of my anchors when times were rough.

Love you all,

Larry

I don't have an idea what your talking about, but, there is no need for an apology. you can say I hate you to you brother, that don't mean you hate them, just how you talk to your brother, but don't let anyone else say that.

You say what ever you want.

Default Larry,

No need for any apologys my friend. We all have from time to time said and done things we may not have intended to cause another harm or injury. We are, after all, just human. We are also brothers & sisters of the highest order..........and therefore obligated and bound to one another by feelings and concern for each other that most citizens have no possible concept of understanding.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us.

May we ALL be here for another in time of need.

God Bless.

Dude,
Never apologize for your fundamental freedom of speech. You have, afterall, more than earned that right several times over. Through your honesty I have learned a great deal more about what it means to be a vet and more so, what my father and uncles must be feeling since they share similar experiences to yours. Your words are the echos of your feelings.

Stay strong even if that means shedding a tear now and then or blowing off steam. It keeps things in check.
