Veterans Day 2020
« on: November 11, 2020, 12:34:30 PM »
To all who served our country. Thank You. I hope you have a wonderful day.

My thoughts are with you on this day.

Tom G.
I love the USA. How much longer will we be a free nation?

Asking questions is one's only way of getting answers.

The rational person lets verified facts form or modify his opinion.  The ideologue ignores verified facts which don't fit his preconceived opinions.

Where else can you get an M60 machine gun for your 20th birthday?  :?

While deciding whether or not to send out Christmas cards this year, I found something in my Dad?s papers that may be suitable for 2020. Just a little reminder that the world was also in turmoil in 1945 but the outlook was beginning to look brighter. This is a scan of a Christmas poem that someone wrote and mimeographed in Manila, Philippine Islands, just after it was captured in 1945.
 
Just as 1945 was the last Christmas of WW II, let?s hope 2020 is the last year of this virus. Be hopeful- be safe.
 
Merry Christmas to All,
