Next year I’ll get something new, but for the second year in a row, I think this will do for Veterans Day–the seal/decal of my old OCS class and the various places we served in Vietnam. Also this, which takes me back to the American Revolution, on my mother’s side, to Thomas Farrar, a lieutenant colonel in the South Carolina "line" of the Continental Army, and Claudius Pegues, Jr., a captain in the South Carolina militia. I suspect our military service goes back much farther, but I don’t know anything about it. And, while we’re at it, let’s not forget the wannabees, who are sure to be strutting around today in their phony uniforms. No sweat. Let them play, if it makes them feel any better.
THE TEXAS SCRIBBLER 
They say apery is the best form of flattery. So let’s just leave it at that. We who served know what we did. Let the rest think what they may. Joe
I do agree, Joe. We can do that as long as we last. The tragedy of the whole thing, though, is that the draft-dodgers wrote most of the histories, the apes among them (including a few professors) sing their songs of genocide, and when we’re all gone that’s all that anyone will know. Makes me bitter sometimes.
