Re: Veterans Day

Good advice George which I took. But........, I didn't take enough.
It was a fantastic and moving afternoon.

I was doing fine until the third grade launched into "God Bless the USA".
Lee Greenwood only wishes he could sing it like that. Hair stood up on the neck and despite my best effort, the tears came, unashamedly I might add.

Grandkids are great!!!!!!!!!

Re: Veterans Day

John,
We all know hair does not stand up on our heads anymore so I am glad you did say neck.

Re: Veterans Day

George,
What the hell has happened to us, those Grand kids can get us to cry anytime they desire. I guess it is the innocence. Love it!!

Re: Veterans Day

Happy Veterans Day to all of our IUSS shipmates. Kathy and I just came back from the "free" lunch at Applebee's. It was fantastic. To be sure, we tipped the waitress generously as we all should. This afternoon the Norfolk Chrysler Museum is giving free glass blowing classes to Vets. We're making glass Christmas Ornaments. It's great to be an American Veteran but I still miss those active duty days immensely. - Jim

Re: Veterans Day

Yesterday the 10th, myself, Terry Clower, George Walter ( PW ) and Johnny Seay along with two other members of the American Legion here in St. John's attended a Veterans Day/Remembrance Day ceremony at Laval High School in Placentia. We attend every year and enjoy seeing the young of the area. We also attended a program at St. Anne's in Dunville given by the students there ( K - 6 ). It is always enjoyable getting back in the area and renewing old acquaintances. The people have not forgotten Argentia. Frog

P.S. Both ceremonies were well done and very moving

Re: Veterans Day

Chuck -

I was shocked to learn that you have a FIVE YEAR OLD DAUGHTER! Was this a renewed "romance" with Linda ? If so, I could use whatever confidential advice you might be willing to share.

Great having grandkids.

Best to all my fellow vet.
