Not much of a poster, your memory is intact.

I do feel that sometimes we need to set aside the time to reflect on
the past, as most of us are kept busy with the daily grind. I fly my "Stars
and Stripes" only on certain historical and memorial days, so that it has
special meaning to me (YMMV). I fly the flag at half staff at times out of
respect for the fallen. I use Sunday mornings for visits to the cemetery
and as a time to reflect on life. This is the way it should be... IMHO (or
should I say "works for me..

For what it's worth I am a life long Dem and not a big fan of this
administration's policies, BUT(that's a big but) I have to say that duty,
honor, country, come before political gain. I think a lot of people have
put personal wealth and power before the well being of this great nation.

I find very few posters on Usenet that I care to discuss things with,
so when I see what appears to be an honorable person post something I take
notice. Thanks Again for your service,

Joseph
