Lots of people get the day off today. Banks are closed. No mail delivery. But seems like every veteran that I know is working. Something wrong with this system.
The photo above is the kind of toys I played with many years ago.
I always have mixed feelings about being a veteran on this day. I was never shot at. Never wanted to be. Is my verteraness diminished because I was smart enough and lucky enough to stay out of combat? I had a close friend who was killed in Viet Nam. His sacrifice dwarfs mine.
I just lost a couple of years of freedom and some of my hearing. If anyone ever asks, an eight inch howitzer is LOUD.
