Happy Veterans Day To All My Bothers and Sisters

 

Dear Club DD-214:


Back in my day the Vietnam War was ragging on.

I was a proud member of the Army in Pleiku at 

that time. 


I want to give all of my bothers and sisters a

heart felt thank you. Go out and get a free

dinner at one the pleases who believe in such

things. Maybe light a candle for those are

not able to. 


GOD BLESS THE U.S.A.

  12. Woodsterman, thank you for not getting killed, fighting in a war of competing Satanic Franchises, fighting for Power, Fun and Profit!
    Vietnam ERA, vet, no combat, 7/69-4/73. I didn't figure out biblical Powers and Principalities until the last few years (Ephesians 6:12, it's short).
    It's not easy being a dumbass, but I guess I needed to be.
    Thank you for your consistently, outstanding blog.

  13. Missed the free meals offered by many fine eateries. I spent the morning celebrating at the local high school ceremonies and then went home to get a bite to eat and spent the afternoon at the nursing home celebrating with the remainder of WWII/Korean war vets and now a few VN vets.

Put it here ... I can't wait to read it. I have the Captcha turned OFF but blogger insists it be there. You should be able to bypass it.
