I volunteered for Air Force in (guessing) 1970. They had issues with my
outrageously bad vision. I inquired about working on jets, but that idea
didn't fly, either. My father thought this was absurd, but that was the
story we got. A year of college went by, and by that point, the cat was
out of the bag, so to speak, with regard to Vietnam. Even my dad, a
former Navy pilot who was gung ho about the war five years earlier, said
"This is a serious mess we got ourselves into".


Wouldn't it just be dandy if we could all pick and choose a time to serve.
Doug, you have completely missed the point, but that's really not a big
surprise.

Have a Happy 4th of July.

Time to serve: Everything can equal "a vote", and it is our responsibility
to vote in every way possible. To do otherwise is traitorous at worst, lazy
at best. We vote in voting booths. We vote with our time. We vote with our
voices. It's part of being Americans. Jefferson hinted at this often.

Perhaps one day, someone will explain "the point", but so far, I have not
seen that happen.

The 4th will involve taking the yacht up the Genesee River and anchoring to
watch the fireworks. However, this time, we will not anchor 100 feet from
where the fireworks are launched. That frightened the crew last time.
