Thank you for your service.

You betcha. Thanks for the thought.

The veterans who really deserve our thanks are not alive to hear it so
we just need to thank then by respecting the flag that they died for
and all it represents.




They all deserve honor. Today, group I am affiliated with, had both crab
fishing and a crab feed for disabled vets. They took out the vets on
private boats, and also cooked up a nice lunch. The rest of us
contributed extra crab, so all could take home crab. Dungeness, sport
limit 10.

I guess I may just be speaking for myself. I don't think I did
anything compared to the guys who had their ass in the grass.


Believe Capt Tom Francis was a real fighting veteran of Viet Nam. I don't recall him saying much about it but maybe someone else would remember.

That seems to be the best indicator of who was really in the ****. The
ones that were, usually don't like to talk about it much.
War is a part of humanity that people would rather forget.
Maybe if people actually confronted the reality a little more, we
would do less of it.
