The vets I have known during my life really have been outstanding man and women- I have to agree with you that the services gives people incredible values. <br /><br />Hugs,<br />BettyB.S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08724883690591213622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7069644.post-78881174460628192652009-12-14T19:52:14.421-05:002009-12-14T19:52:14.421-05:00Truly a wonderful story.

It was truly wonderful to meet ...Hi K and Jack. <br /> It was truly wonderful to meet you at Applebee's last week on Veteran's Day. It is amazing how fate brings people together! With that being said, imagine my surprise when we bumped into you at Panera Bread tonight (literally, I had to stomp on the "toaster brakes"). <br /> The blog is awesome and your retelling of our story brought tears to my eyes. For a couple of old fogies your sure have me kicked with the technology edge (I have never blogged before). Perhaps you can give me some tips? <br /> We would love to take you up on the offer to swim sometime. Keep in touch.

My husband has enjoyed reading about every restaurant that has offered special benefits for veterans. He too clearly remembers having to avoid wearing his uniform into restaurants in the 70's for fear of being spit upon. He said even their military haircuts gave them away and brought on harassment and shouts of baby killer.Granny Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18165058412950953296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7069644.post-70247270924166682222009-11-12T09:33:29.824-05:002009-11-12T09:33:29.824-05:00i love this story! i wish we had been able to get ...i love this story! i wish we had been able to get out but sarge is in that bad week, today we have the dr. appt., that's as far as he can go.<br /><br />smiles, bee<br />xxoxoxoxoxoxoxoEmpress Bee (of the high sea)https://www.blogger.com/profile/08300140506585000934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7069644.post-8217734383567817072009-11-12T09:06:19.951-05:002009-11-12T09:06:19.951-05:00This is a wonderful story!! and a little glimpse i...This is a wonderful story!! and a little glimpse into you and your hubby (also pretty great)......Thanks for sharing.Changes in the windhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06942797186537814864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7069644.post-10341308823323434372009-11-12T01:02:40.824-05:002009-11-12T01:02:40.824-05:00That was so nice of you and your husband!

On the one hand there is all the lip service and glad handing by the politicians, and on the other, stories of young vets unable to find work when they come back, not being paid money the government owes them so that they can't pay their bills and risk losing their homes. Horror stories abound! We need to put our money where our mouth is and treat them better than that, and, as you say, get the hell out of Afganistan!mollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03797484583400519909noreply@blogger.com
