Must retire – the 0445 Reveille approaches relentlessly.

The Bugler, his grim visage replete with an evil sneer,
already mounts the parapet.

Soldiers of the Greatest Generation
Stand The Watch Tonight!

I stand with them for the United States of America!

Stand with me, Patriots!

Home safe and sound/...finally! Accident leading into the roundabout....squeeze over into the outer lane. Dodge the folks coming out of parking lots, and trying to change lanes when some won’t let you in as you sit behind the dead car and wrecker.

Good evening, Connie, and thank you for the tributes to our troops. *HUGS*

Hope your week has been going well, and your commute was uneventful. I got stuck behind an accident.

How is your sand? We are covered in leaves.

Good evening, ML...((HUGS))...how was wonderful Wednesday?

I see Terrible Tuesday was indeed, terrible. Sounds like the kids don’t have a chance with the mom and dad for examples.

I never thought I would be ashamed of my government, but it is disgusting the things “they” are doing just to hurt our veterans, fallen heroes, and active duty as well.

“They” DO NOT represent a whole lot of our citizens.

It breaks my heart that our country is being trashed and our heroes forgotten by these Keystone Kops.

I just pray that we can get out from under this before it’s too late. :(
