Man-cave access at last!

The local American Legion, veterans helping veterans, built me a wheelchair ramp so that I can get back into The Little House, which I used as my man cave.

I had my stroke there on September 15, 2009.

At last I can get back inside my man cave!

Memorial Day is about our fallen heroes - not about barbecues and picnics and shopping bargains.

Observe the day with at least a few minutes of how the day should be observed!

JFK'S Secretary of State, Dean Rusk, was in France in the early 1960's when France’s President General Charles de Gaulle decided to pull out of NATO. De Gaulle said he wanted all US military out of France as soon as possible.

Rusk quietly asked him, "Does that include those who are buried here?"

De Gaulle did not respond.

Rip Off! Scam!

As a disabled veteran, this one really pisses me off (with thanks to Mrs. AOW, who received the following in an email from her friend Mustang):
