Happy Veterans Day!
To all of those that have served this nation's military...Thank You! Without your sacrifice this Great Nation wouldn't have survived this long. Today we face a inner threat born out of the grips of Totalitarianism...God help this nation.

I humbly agree and pay my respects to any of you that served. I did not choose that path and many times over the years wished I had.

Here is our illustrious(?) Secretary of Defense in a recent speech to a Global Security Forum 2013 sponsored by the Center for Strategic and International Studies.
http://www.military.com/daily-news/2013/11/05/hagel-says-cuts-to-pay-and-benefits-are-needed.htmlthat troops and their families will be asked to sacrifice on pay and benefits to preserve readiness in an era of tighter budgets.
If he suceeds in reducing pay and benefits along with reducing overall strength numbers BladeRunner will not have the opportunity to serve.

Re: Happy Veterans Day!
I am fully aware today is America's Veterans Day but since veterans are in the news this got my attention earlier today.
Just one of the many articles depicting the passing of this British WWII veteran.
A tip of the hat to the nursing home and Mr. Percival's "Band of Brothers in Arms"!Hundreds of strangers have turned out for the funeral of a British World War II vet who died without any close friends or family.
Harold Percival died on October 25 in Lytham St Annes, in northwest England, at the age of 99. Knowing he had no living relatives or friends, the nursing home placed an advertisement in the local newspaper asking military personnel to attend the service

Memorial Day
Today we pay tribute to the countless thousands of men and women who have died defending our freedom and liberty around the world. Their ultimate sacrifice has paid the price and maintained our way of life. God Bless them, their families, and their ultimate sacrifice which we will forever be indebted too.

I would guess the places out by Mitchell just aren't open for business yet. Or are you weekending in MN ?

Re: Happy Veterans Day!
That explains it. Only one thing is more difficult for me to get in Pukwana than a whiskey ...
