Thoughts Of A Veteran On This Most Sacred Of Days
As many of you know I'm a Vietnam Veteran. This day, as I get older, means more and more to me. With only one third of Vietnam Veterans alive to pass along the stories I realize my own humanity.
My best friend growing up, Bill Mercer, is on this wall above. I've mentioned him a few times on past Memorial Day posts. I have two links here (2010) ---- (2011) to these posts. Like so many that have died for this country, his was so very special.
I wish the "people" growing up in this latest generation could understand what these courageous souls have given to them. Maybe if they could just grasp that idea they wouldn't desire socialism and the death of the greatest country ever.
I wish to give thanks this day to those who gave all.
I thank God for sharing his greatest sons and daughters so that we may be free. Their numbers are posted below.
Please remember those above this Memorial Day.

Classroom Discussion
A teacher asked her class how many of them are Bernie Sanders fans.
Not really knowing what a Bernie Sanders fan is, but wanting to be liked by the teacher, all the kids raised their hands except for Little Johnny.
The teacher asked Little Johnny why he has decided to be different...again.
Little Johnny said, 'Because I'm not a Bernie Sanders fan.'
The teacher asked, 'Why aren't you a Bernie Sanders fan?'
Johnny said, 'Because I'm a Conservative'
The teacher asked him why he's a Conservative.
Little Johnny answered, 'Well, my Mom's a Conservative and my Dad's a Conservative, so I'm a Conservative.'
Annoyed by this answer, the teacher asked, 'If your Mom was a Moron and your Dad was an idiot, what would that make you?'
Little Johnny replied, 'A Bernie Sanders fan.'
Thanks Jim
