Here are some photos from yesterday's Memorial Day ceremony at our local
Veteran's Park. These are raw photos. Some are crooked, because the spots I had to set the tripod weren't level. Some are off center, because I couldn't stand where I needed to, but this is the first real use of the new Fuji camera. I was sick from the heat and humidty, so I couldn't stay to shoot more photos. -- Service to my country? Been there, Done that, and I've got my DD214 to prove it. Member of DAV #85. Michael A.

All that yellow piping and the white gloves looks so dorky. They look like they were modeled after the PA state troopers, but that they wanted to "outdo" them. Position number two need to get laid for about a six hour stretch. |

The photos look pretty good to me. A shot of you and the DAV van would have been nice. Michael, Thank you for your service in our military. Thanks, also, for your continued support of disabled veterans like yourself. Your efforts mean much more than the general public can realize. Dude, whats up with your chompers? Were you ever able to get those abscessed teeth cared for? If there was an update I missed it, but I am concerned. Regards, Tom Adkins |

Michael, Thank you for your service in our military. Thanks, also, for your continued support of disabled veterans like yourself. Your efforts mean much more than the general public can realize. that's what I'm praying the veteran's website will do. Its amazing how utterly clueless the general public is about Veterans, and what they do for our country. The local school board's records listed scholarship information that is four years out of date, yet they use the services of hundreds of Veteran volunteers every school year. Dude, whats up with your chompers? Were you ever able to get those abscessed teeth cared for? If there was an update I missed it, but I am concerned. One is out, but the surgeon won't take the other till he can see or feel the swelling, so I have to wait for the infection to come back. William's efforts raised $305 dollars which paid for the $250 bill for the surgery and almost $50 for the prescriptions. Once again, I want to thank all of those who were able to help me. I would have had to wait 4 months, till my next VA appointment for the VA to fill the prescriptions so I had no choice but to spend the money. Thanks to the politicians, outside prescriptions can now only be approved during a regularly scheduled appointment, or hospital stay. -- Service to my country?

Dental infections are associated with brain disorders. Maybe that is what is wrong with you. ****ed off at the rest of the world for your ills, and you even want others to help you out. Sad.

Uh, pardon me for intruding, but once in awhile I have to take exception to this kind of remark. All of us are getting older, and all of us will have to deal with medical situations at some point. Michael didn't make a complaint about his problem, someone (who cared) asked how he's doing and he responded. As for asking others to help out, let me ask everyone here -- what have you done recently to help a soldier or veteran? Anything? What have our veterans done to help you? This newsgroup isn't large enough for me to begin describing it. Think about what our servicemen have done and are continuing to do, in spite of politicians' rhetoric. Think about what would happen if all of our servicemen, everywhere around the world, were to LISTEN to the politicians and simply drop their posts and come home. I can guarantee the USA would be terrorism central. Now think about what the POLITICIAN gets as a retirement package -- let's just say his health care happens to be a tad better. Picture in your mind, one single veteran you know who has served to keep us secure. Give him the keys to your house, all your cars, all your posessions, and spend the rest of your time working as his butler. It's still not enough to repay in my opinion. Yet, all most veterans ask is that you simply remember, and enjoy life. I'm sure this message will bring out the trolls in force, making snide comments that will go on for another eternity. Sad, isn't it? Still, I've made my position known and I don't apologize for it. -- Gary E. Tayman/Tayman Electrical Sound Solutions For Classic Cars http://www.taymanelectrical.com |

The 'person' you replied to is the biggest foul mouthed idiot that pollutes the electronics newsgroups. He morphs like Skippy, and is abut as useful. He is never man enough to admit he's wrong, and thinks that cursing makes him sound like a man. Eeyore, on the other hand is a very ignorant and childish british subject that hates America and has suggested that that it needs to be bombed out of existence.

As tensions grew everywhere, the good ol' USA was determined to stay out of it. Then after we were attacked on our own soil by the Japanese, we responded. War protestors immediately held Roosevelt accountable for "breaking his promise" and said we had no reason to enter the war. They also claimed we had no business going to Europe, as only Japan had attacked us. Yes, they said that; I have the recordings. Does this sound familiar? -- Gary E.

To claify an important point... Mr. Terrell never asked for assistance. It
was my idea that we should contribute to getting his teeth extracted. If Mr. Terrell is a liar, cheat, and/or phony, that's _his_ problem. Those who contributed did the right thing. |

It's a fact. Leave off killing Moslems in stupid wars
and they'll leave you alone too. This is too simple. It overlooks the fact that the West has been interfering in Middle East affairs and societies for several hundred years. |
