Belated happy veteran's day, Soldier!

And to all that serve and have served.

Non (and his family-he can elaborate if he so chooses) , Steve, Wayne's son David...There are more, forgive me for not recalling...

It was put quite well by a poster over at PurplePride...I'll paraphrase-

Remember, at some point, every single veteran knowingly wrote a blank check fully payable to the United States of America that included their own life as potential payment.

I actually prefer this version to SSgt Sadler's original.

We actually sat in the garage last night, watched the deer come in and listen to Tom T Hall and this song that I had put together for him a few years ago.

Fitting way to wind the day down.

Thanks for the post.. +1 and once again Thank you to all Vets. Be Blessed with good health, good times and good friends.

I've had a lot of relatives in the military -- Purple Hearts, flag-draped coffins, the works -- but I think my brother and I are the only ones of our generation to serve. He's currently a DI down at Parris Island. The job suits him well.

I make it a point to thank Vets whenever i see them. Most of the time you can't tell if they are Vets or not. But if they are wearing a hat or shirt that says they are, i go up to them and thank them.
You would be surprised at how many of them have never had anyone do that.
It SHOULD be the norm, not the acception.
Especially Vietnam Vets, who were not treated right when they came home. I have had grown men start crying, and wives that came up to me afterward to thank me for doing so for their husbands.
I think i have gained more out of doing that then they got.
THANK YOU VETERANS!
What you have given has given us the freedoms we have today. We have the right to disagree, to discuss, and all, because of YOUR sacrifices.

I've said this before and I'll say it again - you're a good guy Cheesey.

I was reading about this one blogger once who before a kid was shipped off to the recent wars, he was having dinner with his parents. He overheard that he was being shipped over, called over the waitress and asked to take the tab for them.

I've thought about doing the same. Never did it though. One of these days...

Thank you Zombie.
I wish i had the money to do that. Thinking of the other thread that asked "what would you do if you had unlimited money", what you said would be something i would do......as many times as i could.

beast (11h) : Also why do both NYC teams have absolutely horrible OL for over a decade?

beast (11h) : I wonder why the Jets always hire defensive coaches to be head coach

Zero2Cool (21h) : Still HC positions available out there. I wonder if Hafley pops up for one

Zero2Cool (21h) : Trent Baalke is out as the Jaguars GM.

dfosterf (23h) : Jeff Hafley would have been a better choice, fortunately they don't know that. Someone will figure that out next off season

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Aaron Glenn Planning To Take Jets HC Job

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Martha- C'est mon boulot! 😁

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you

wpr (22-Jan) : Z, glad you are feeling better.

wpr (22-Jan) : My son and D-I-L work for UM. It's a way to pick on them.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you. I rarely get sick, and even more rarely sick to the point I can't work.

wpr (22-Jan) : Beast- back to yesterday, I CAN say OSU your have been Michigan IF the odds of making the playoffs were more urgent.

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Glad to hear you are feeling a bit better.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : I've been near death ill last several days, finally feel less dead and site issues.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : It is a big deal. This host is having issues. It's frustrating.

Martha Careful (22-Jan) : just kidding...it was down

Martha Careful (22-Jan) : you were blocked yesterday, due to a a recalcitrant demeanor yesterday in the penalty box for a recalcitrant demeanor

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Was that site shutdown on your end or mine? No big deal, just curious

beast (21-Jan) : That way teams like Indiana and SMU don't make the conference championships by simply avoiding all the other good teams in their own confere

beast (21-Jan) : Also, with these "Super Conferences" instead of a single conference champion, have 4 teams make a Conference playoffs.

beast (21-Jan) : Also in college football, is a bye week a good or bad thing?

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : The tournament format was fine. Seeding could use some work.

beast (21-Jan) : You can't assume Ohio State would of won the Michigan game...

beast (21-Jan) : Rankings were 1) Oregon 2) Georgia 3) Texas 4) Penn State 5) Notre Dame 6) Ohio State, none of the rest mattered

wpr (21-Jan) : Texas, ND and OSU would have been fighting for the final 2 slots.

wpr (21-Jan) : Oregon and Georgia were locks. Without the luxury of extra playoff berths, Ohios St would have been more focused on Michigan game.

wpr (21-Jan) : Zero, no. If there were only 4 teams Ohio State would have been one of them. Boise St and ASU would not have been selected.

Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : So that was 7 vs 8, that means in BCS they never would made it?

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : A great game. Give ND credit for coming back, although I am please with the outcome.

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : FG to make it academic

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : and there's the dagger

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : ooooo 8 point game with 4 minutes to go!

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : ooooooooohhhhhh he missed!

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Ooooo that completion makes things VERY interesting

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Game not over yet

beast (21-Jan) : Oh yeah, Georgia starting quarterback season ending elbow injury

beast (21-Jan) : Sadly something happened to Georgia... they should be playing in this game against Ohio State

beast (21-Jan) : I thought Ohio State and Texas were both better than Notre Dame & Penn State

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame getting rolled

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : Ohio State just got punched in the gut. Lets see how they respond

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame vs the Luckeyes, bleh

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Oh snap!!!

Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : Even Stevie Wonder can see that.

Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : Nah, you see Lions OC leaving to be HC of Bears is directly related to Packers.

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : ohhhhhhh Zero is in TROUBLE

packerfanoutwest (21-Jan) : Zero, per your orders, check Bearshome, not packershome

Zero2Cool (20-Jan) : Then he'll land with another team and flourish.

Zero2Cool (20-Jan) : Ben going to Bears. He'll be out in 3 years.

Mucky Tundra (20-Jan) : what's so funny?

Zero2Cool (20-Jan) : BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
