Serving The Best Troops and Veterans In The World !! | StarCMC

[ConorMacNessa]

Good evening, Janey!

*HUGS*

I, too, am highly wroth! Operating under perilous conditions, hamstrung by near-suicidal ROE's, and undercut by the shenanigans of the current Regime.

I pray daily for the safe delivery of our Valiant Troops and our Beloved Nation.

Good evening, Sand...((HUGS))...any exciting projects going on? Building anything?

No project/building going on yet.

Did research on my son’s Radio Flyer Wagon, from 1982, to find the restoration parts. Gr-Ma says that as soon as we get the garage cleared out, the wagon restoration for Nate is next.

Cool! Thanks, Kathy! :)

On my errands yesterday I saw 2 license plates with the 10th "logo" on them.

First time I've seen plates like that.

Good evening, Luv...another hero for sure.

Did you get a nap today?

[ConorMacNessa]

It's amazing what you see on your way to work, grocery, etc. When I was taking the train into work, there were usually parked in the lot a car with a Navy Cross tag and another with a "Frozen Chosin" tag. And of course, my van with its PH tag and assorted decals.

Driving into work, I am passed regularly by vehicles with military tags of one sort or another. If I end up next to them at a stoplight I beep and make greetings. This happens fairly often. Even here, inside the Capital Beltway, there are lots of Vets, lots of Patriots. Does my old heart good to see it!

Cool that you can make contact with other vets.

It really should make you feel good.

We have PH plates, and Retired, but I’ve never seen a military “logo” for a unit.

In the People's Republic of Maryland, we have more types of plates than you can shake a stick at. You can get a series of tags started in Maryland once you have 15 signatures. There are any number of military tags, Vietnam Service, Iraq Service, all personal decorations (I was driving home up I-95 one afternoon when I saw a tag "MH00003"), various units, etc.

There was a big flap here a couple of years ago when the Sons of the Confederacy got their tag. Similarly, when the "Choose Life" tag was issued. Thankfully, the Maryland Court of Appeals actually knew and applied the 1st Amendment, and those tags are still in use. The Court decided, correctly, that the issuance of vanity tags had created a public forum and that the content was protected speech. Chalk one up for the good guys!

We have a Radio Flyer up here, and it is street legal. I've seen it once on the road.

That is really cool that you are restoring your son's Radio Flyer for Nate.

My Dad bought it for my son’s birthday and brought it to him when we lived on Fort Knox coming from Detroit. Figured it should go next Nate.

[Kathy in Alaska]

G’day, Janey...((HUGS))...hope you had a great weekend.

It has to be so hard for our troops to try to do their jobs with all the restrictions the “know nothings” have put on them; to know that their C in C really cares little for then and the jobs they do.

God Bless and watch over them all.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Mayor, and thank you for today’s sustenance for body and soul.
