    How very thoughtful of you to have begun this thread, Richard,
    I'm embarrassed to be so late finding it, but my hubby (also a vet) and I
    would also like to say our "Thank You's" to you, and so many others, too.
    May God bless, I hope you had a grand day.

    From a war protester and peace marcher, I thank every person who served in the military to protect our country. War is never justifiable, but our soldiers are still the bravest ever. Thank you all.

    Ah, well DC is a possibility, then.

    Uncle Walter said it "It's a small world, after all". *LOL

    Lots of folks went to jail in DC. I was one of them. Did you have that special experience, Zuzu?
