Thank You, Veterans
Just thought I'd post a thank you here.
Whatever you do or have done, to serve, my thanks to you.
Wherever you serve, or served, my thanks to you.
Whomever you serve, or served, my thanks to you.

Thanks, Veterans. Blow me, DPW!
Thank you for your service, Veterans. And to all you DPW wannabe's: You didn't build the city, you laid cable and installed fencing. Go thank a veteran for protecting your right to join a cult, and stop acting like you deserve our reverence for drinking lots of PBR.

Do you think I should forward that to the DPW list ?
We have an obligation to make space for everyone, we have no obligation to make that space pleasant.

So I've been looking for what to get my dad for his birthday. Last year I sent packages through anysoldier.org, and this year I found Soldier's Angels, which has all sorts of ways to help
http://www.angelsstore.org/First_Respon ... ack004.htm
Including sending a birthday cake to someone deployed, so that is what I'm doing this year!
http://soldiersangels.org/index.php?mac ... turnid=256
And a movie night
http://www.angelsstore.org/Movie_Night_ ... enight.htm
Because they need the downtime/distraction.

San Francisco, North Island San Diego, Yokosuka. But I have been to the other places.
Ready, two!
Ahhh, I could always tell when the Navy had a boat docked at White Beach, on the way to BC Street outside of Kadena Whisper Alley would be packed wall to wall with sailors. We knew to steer clear of the Alley for a week to let the girls recoop from that invasion

Kadena was a nice base in that we Airmen shared it with Marines and Navy and got to interact with them on a reg. basis. It was interesting to see how the other branches did things. The Navy flew the P3C Orion outta there and the Marines flew A4's -A7's, as well as the Harrier, which used to royally annoy us on the flightline as the pilots would practice hovering. Ahhh, the sounds of a kick-ass jet engine and the smell of JP4, hmmmmm, smelled of..............Victory!
Always could tell who the Marines were off base, they were the only ones who'd eat the banana after the show

Excuse me Ma'am, your going to feel a small prick.

On the drive home, the classical station announced that they were going to play Wagner's Ride of the Valkyries. But first the DJ said "You probably know it from 'Apocalypse Now' but there's another Veteran's Day connection. The valkyries were the beings that went forth on bidding from the Norse god Odin, to select the bravest warriors to die and come feast forever in Valhalla."
Yes! That made my day.

it's one of my favorites, too...........
And:
they only take half the war heroes.........the others go to Freya's hall...............
the ones the go to Valhalla go there to await Ragnarok.
in the mean time,
they feast, drink, and dally the maidens all night, and do battle all day, to keep in practice.....
but, you gotta die in battle to get there..........

Let's not forget the myriad support staff too.
I have always believed that heroism has nothing to do with dying, rather the cold decision to show up.
By the way, I have designed a world war II memorial sculpture, if anyone is interested.
It is modular, so could be done very reasonably, or could be expanded to a grand scale.
In full scale, it is intended to recognize civilian support of all kinds and the many civilian casualties of that war, but the front figure is military.
If you know some place that wants a design, let me know.
