Hi guys. It's Veteran's day again. Time
fly's so fast for me anymore. So, "Happy-
Veteran's-Day". May we all see many more.
And, as the kids today like to say, "Thanks
for your service". I get the feeling, people
say this because we went, and they didn't
have too. What say you all?

I say to those who thank me, "I appreciate that, but the ones who really
need to be thanked are those who didn't make it home".

The one thing I'm looking forward to is heading a few miles over to the
lake, possibly going out on the pier if the weather is ok, and paying my
respects to Paul Lambers, Congressional Medal of Honor Recipient, who was
lost off the pier December 1, 1970. His body was never recovered.

Honorable Steve. Is your state in the middle of that bad weather
coming down from the north? We get our shot tomorrow. Had first
snow last week; too warm to lay then, cooler this week. Watch
that wind don't blow you off the pier. But, being Navy, I'm sure
your legs are better in the wind than I would be. Best of the
day to you.

Thanks. I won't be heading out to the lake today though, as I do that on Dec.
1st.

As far as the weather goes, right now it's about 57 degrees, and the cold front
is approaching.

Currently, 65 degrees inside my flower box on doggy's front porch. The weather people on TV say it is going to get COLD (When it's Springtime in the Rockies, it's 40 below) in The Great Land Mass. http://foldsofhonor.org Veterans Day: Honoring All Who Served With Folds Of Honor

It's also an acknowledgement that many folks went without a choice, to
fight a war designed by crazy policy masters like Henry Kissinger. A
war that was lost and might had been unwinnable from the start. Nobody
should have to go halfway around the world to fight some war, especialy
one as hare-brained as Nam.

I also say it to the folks my age and younger who served in Iraq and
Afghanistan. Turns out we lost Iraq as ISIL (AKA the Free Syrian Army
once they drive onver to Iraq) has practically taken the whole place
over already. Afghanistan seems poised to be next.
