Fall painting, raking leaves, winterizing the summer’s motorized yard equipment, cutting and splitting firewood - then there’s every day work if one has it, to pay the bills. And before I know it, the Olney AARs are 3 weeks behind. So here’s the oldest two weeks. I have something special for Weeks 202 and 203 so they will be separate AARs.
Pictures for both weeks are by [Mrs] T.
WEEK 200, Nov. 07,2009
Roll call of this week’s 11 patriots includes Legionnaires Glenn (WWII - Marines), Halsey (Korea - USMC), Dennis (Korea - Army), Carl (Vietnam - Army), Lurkers Bill and Ethel, and Cindy_True_Supporter, GunsAreOK, Kburi, [Mrs] Trooprally and myself
BELOW LEFT: Cindy_True_Supporter looking good in her sunglasses. BELOW RIGHT: Halsey with Glenn posing for [Mrs] T. A long time back Halsey had given [Mrs] T the nickname “Gunny”. Now that our Marine son recently made gunny, she’s proud of the nickname. For those adventurous types, our son took his oath half way down a repelling wall and was pinned when he got down.
BELOW LEFT: GunsAreOK also posing for [Mrs] T. BELOW RIGHT: Halsey and Dennis with the Singing Soldier.
BELOW LEFT: Carl on our extreme left flank. BELOW RIGHT: Kburi and Halsey. As I’ve previously mentioned, Halsey does get around.
BELOW: Lurkers Bill and Ethel. That’s Bill on the left :-))
That’s me in the background. The flags are nicely unfurled.
WEEK 201, Nov. 14,2009
It may have been wet this weekend, but we still had 10 patriots. In fact, we have had some real good numbers in November. Last week we had 11 and the following week we also had 11. And the Saturday after Thanksgiving we had 10 again. One advantage about being late in writing the AARs, I have 20-20 foresite.
Thank you to all those who come out and support our troops
