Looks like the "dog-dayz of summer" are here.
The humidity is terrible.
I can hardly blink
without breaking into a sweat. UGH!
And I can't even find time to get to the pool. Double-UGH!

But please stay right where you are.
Chat up the military or a family member.
No need to fret...you know I'll be back!

The FR Canteen is

Come in and sit for a while.
There's always plenty of coffee, tea,
pancakes, conversation, silliness,
and plain old BS

((HUGS)) Good morning, MEG33. Getting some badly needed rain here in Comanche OK too. How’s it going?

[mware]

This one is a bit of a shocker,but it a fact about the CMH so I am including it.

Later in life, Liteky changed his name to Charles, left the Catholic priesthood, became an anti-war activist, and renounced his Medal of Honor).

Good morning EG ((HUGS))

It’s Monday, what more can I say?

Howz it out your way?

[txradioguy]

I fel very blessed/honored that I was able to be a part of 5 ceremonies inducting the MoH recipients in the Hall of Heroes at the Pentagon.

Unforgettable experience.

[eastforker]

Didn’t see it mentioned but a CMH recipient can not be dishonerably discharged from the service no matter what the charge is.

[MEG33]

(((HUGS))) It’s wonderful to have a really beneficial rainfall..Glad you are having rain, too, EGC.

[E.G.C.]

Well, I'm enjoying watching all this badly needed rain on radar. We've been needing this rain for it seems like forever.

The good part of all this rain is it's nice and gentle and there is nothing severe or heavy. It's also cool for this time of year. Bo and I slept real good last night. No AC at all.

[MEG33]

I remember..(((HUGS)))
