Dad said it was the first time he'd heard that from anyone. It was a quiet day full of deviled screams and turned backs the day he got home back in '69.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16961377191597126990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17834003.post-35259312806299011322009-05-23T08:49:41.541-05:002009-05-23T08:49:41.541-05:00Great post, Steph.

It must have been something to hear. <br /><br />I used to love hearing Amazing Grace being played on the bagpipe, but since my father's funeral, it makes me weep openly now. I hope nobody ever forgets what our soldiers do for our freedoms.Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05192300189857815667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17834003.post-41633718018246396802009-05-21T08:52:43.762-05:002009-05-21T08:52:43.762-05:00Great post Steph, thanks for sharing it. danGreat post Steph, thanks for sharing it. dandanhttp://www.lowriderinthewind.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17834003.post-32854224583972129272009-05-20T06:01:54.310-05:002009-05-20T06:01:54.310-05:00Great post again Steph!

People don't like thinking about this. It makes them feel bad, guilty or angry.<br /><br />Well, tough shit. You need to take a moment and think about this. You need to know someone else is out there making sure you still have the best shot at choice.<br /><br />Great post. What a great cause. Yeah, it sorta brought my day to a certain calm and to somber thought...I would feel like an ass if it didn't. Thanks for the reminder. Every ride has this sacrifice in thought for a few miles. <br /><br />If you're indifferent about this subject or don't care, then you have no appreciation for what's been sacrificed and can kiss my ass. I have no use for you or your opinion, because you obviously don't appreciate the right to an opinion...which makes it worthless in my book.<br /><br />Speak your mind, but at least have the intelligence to know that some places in the world would rather shoot you in the face than hear your opinion. It was a gift that cost more than any other because the price was so high. I give thanks but it just never seems to be enough...I don't think it ever will. The only thing I can do is live my life as best as I can with recognition of the sacrifice.<br /><br />ok, ok...I'll zip it. Great Post and good for you.FLHX_Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17453169653430889773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17834003.post-20511188171157376232009-05-18T14:37:00.000-05:002009-05-18T14:37:00.000-05:00Nice photos…great story…oh yea I love the new hair...Nice photos…great story…oh yea I love the new hair<br />Big AlGYMONRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17071551407039661395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17834003.post-81502283658264676952009-05-18T12:45:00.000-05:002009-05-18T12:45:00.000-05:00One of the best posts I've read in a long time...n...One of the best posts I've read in a long time...nicely done...!!!<br />Thanks for sharing...You look good in that pic.Baron's Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05363887015251189502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17834003.post-67620123795940016502009-05-18T07:10:00.000-05:002009-05-18T07:10:00.000-05:00Great job on the post!!!
