      Gays get a month, Hispanics get a month, blacks get a month, veterans only get a day.
      Sometimes I wish I had a Harry Potter's wand and make people go up into smoke.

        Veterans are fortunate to get that IMHO.

                Once a soldier...always a soldier.

                    Yeah, I still remember the "Baby Killers" signs.

                      An old band buddy and my brother each called me (a day late, no less) to wish me a happy Veterans' Day. In each case, we bullshitted for an hour. The funny thing is that I had promised to climb into the attic and do some very unpleasant carpentry work in a confined space that I'd been avoiding for years. At 62 years of age, I'm still very active and fit, but struggle with balance and flexibility. Crawling through an attic is pure hell. My buddy and my brother helped delay this unpleasant task till the afternoon!

                      As a 30-year Army veteran, I'm frankly humbled by people who'd never served a day who take time out of their schedule just to thank me. I never did anything particularly spectacular during my years of service. Like everyone else, I did my job to the best of my ability. Now civilians are thanking me. They don't know that it wasn't like the movies. I didn't shoot down an enemy helicopter with a slingshot; didn't defeat 8 attacking ninjas in a knife fight; and didn't capture the enemy general.

                      Nevertheless; I thank them for their kind words.
