Not a word spoken yet it says it all. Forgive me if this has already been posted.

That video..I need to compose a few seconds... is less astounding than it is true. It is so real. Thank you sir for posting it Steve in Michigan. The eyes across the generations.... I can never say enough but dang well too little.

We have enough youth, how about a fountain of Smart. My computer beat me at chess, but not kickboxing
It is not getting caught in the rain, its learning to dance in it. People saying good morning, should have to prove it.

Do you mean the caption, "Celebrating freedom and those that provide it"

Re: Food City - salute
After I got out of high school, I got a call from a recruiter. I had been accepted to an Ivy League school. I was polite to him, but I brushed him off. I thought he was totally out of touch with my situation.
In retrospect, I realize that my family and I had an unfortunate view of military service. We thought of it as something people did when they had no other choice. As a result, we don't have much of a share in the credit which is due military families.
I would have been a whole lot better off serving my country than surrounded by a bunch of stoned, spoiled idiots, listening to professors who thought America was the source of all the world's problems.

Steve, sounds like you have seen the light. Harold, my apologies if this steps over the line. It won't happen again.

P,S. I love emoticons.

Re: Food City - salute
I was passed over in the Vietnam era. Drafted twice, rejected twice. Bad hearing, and glasses. I have to admit to being isolationist, and Anti Vietnam, as I saw clearly the loss of humanity in those that came back with a lot of baggage and anger. Over time, I watched various events unfold, Biafra, Columbia, and many others. Not my fight I thought, and then the Towers, and the Pentagon, and a failed flight with all the civilians as targets. That made me adament about taking out the Threats, where they sleep, instead of here.
I have lost a list of relatives in foreign and domestic lands, and there is no pride in the loss. It simply ends what they are, and could be. In battles, I believe there is neither Victor, nor Vanquished. Only hallowed ground, and sacred memories.
In the end, I grew up with a sense of rights, that are eroding, after they stopped pledging allegiance, to a flag, an image that stirs my heart, and clouds my eyes at even hockey game. Down deep, I am the Home guard, willing to fight for my families safty, and my neighbors too, against any who would disrupt our life. A patriot to long held ideals of freedom, and fair play.
If this line is condemned as political, I would argue it is neither party, or arguing for change. But it is a love to engage others without rancor, or fear, as it happens otherwise in other parts of our world.
I have the deepest honor, for those that went where I could not, and a sadness at the cost for going, as not all return whole and complete. To those, whatever origins they have, I thank you, for your service.
