Your Pics and Captions say it all Barnacle. Very Nice Work my friend.
Your comment - Meanwhile Bush can't seem to find the money in his RECORD BREAKING Budget to fully fund medical care for our Veterans. -brings back a very sad memory to me.
Last year I was with a group who did some work at a Veterans home. As part of the project, we were treated to lunch. Just about everyone happily marched off to the mess hall the first day. Just about no one went back on the second or third.
I think my biggest concern of being wounded in action is the lifetime of bad food that might follow.
Our service men and women deserve better than that.
