Veterans Day
If you have been following this little corner of the electronic world for awhile, you know that I am a veteran of the Navy. I have written quite a bit about those days, which I mostly remember fondly and with pride. But it wasn't always a good time, hours of boredom punctuated by moments of panic. And there was the busy work... Oh hell yes they like to keep you busy!
But all in all, it was a great experience that I wouldn't trade to this day.
If you are interested in my first post about it, go here.
Today, I just want to remind everyone that whether or not you support any particular political party, candidate, or doctrine, there are a lot of average Joe's that have given up their lives because they thought it would make a difference. Give them a pat on the back or a hug today.

In my opinion, this should be required viewing on this day:
And finally, if you want to see a movie that will break your heart, check out Taking Chance.

ReplyDeleteI didn't have any veterans to hug and my veterinarian said they were an entirely different species...
