OT Shout out to Bodi and all other Vets who visit here.

I posted elsewhere that Memorial Day weekend gives me pause to think about the sacrifices made by my dad and his generation in WWII, and yet I tend to pass over the sacrifices made by ALL our warriors before and since. Visited Wash DC last Fall for the first time as a tourist, and finally had time to see the various memorials. Damn, if visiting these doesn't make you proud and appreciative and somber for all the sacrifices made by all our Vets on our behalf. My wish for this weekend is for all Americans to recognize and appreciate that their sacrifices are what gives us the right and freedom to express our views, to argue and disagree on all things political, here and on college campuses and on TV and radio, etc... Those that shut down the give and take of political debate dishonor these men and women and their sacrifices.

Notre Dames Rocky Bleier ! And DIP--Three tours in Vietnam ! And Rgc7---Korean war---Frozen Chosin !! Incredible ! And God bless IrishDJ's son who is currently serving in the Marines ! Thanks to your Dad for serving in WW2 ! This country may seem very divided now but we all come together when shit hits the fan--like after 911 ! I hope there are no more reasons for wars. And we can continue arguing about politics instead ! Democrat or Republican or Independent or hell even Canadian (IIO) we all LOVE AMERICA in our own way !
