They sure as hell weren’t fighting to insure Junior High Civic Comprehension
We watch the entire series every Memorial Day Weekend. From our perspective it would be hard for anyone to fail to appreciate sacrifice on the behalf of the highest good for all concerned in general and a country based on the Declaration of Independence on the other. All men and women ARE created equal. Arthur …

Veteran’s Day Ponderings
We've been out and about all day today beginning with a Veteran-discounted steak dinner at Black Angus in Spokane Valley. I bought a new cap a couple of weeks ago because I thought it was about time I publicly acknowledged part of who I am. It is the current cap I wear, replacing the …

Although I respect his service and his …
They can’t do that! Not without the permission of the party of refugee and immigrant management.
Probably better call Fox News and give em a hot tip. Guess Who's Helping Seattle Homeless Veterans? Syrian Refugees The debate about resettling Syrian refugees has some people asking, “Why don’t we use that money on homeless veterans instead?” We asked homeless veterans in downtown Seattle what they thought.

Veteran, Proud of It, and Willing to Speak Up
I'm an old veteran with no hair, high blood pressure and military memories going back to the early 1970's when Jane Fonda was a swear word and my cousin somehow got into the National Guard and I didn't. Had I waited another six months before enlisting, the new draft lottery which placed my birthday at …
