I smile, I frown, I laugh, I contemplate life.<BR/><BR/>Thanks, Peter! I am a vet. No war, no action... Just a missileman in a very safe area. The only stories I have are of long hours, lots of inspections, and excellent memories of other men that served in the same place and at the same time. I still communicate with some of those that I served with!CewTwohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01559024822260264420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5331213685542630258.post-65488446277128806222008-11-11T20:44:00.000-05:002008-11-11T20:44:00.000-05:00Salute.I was channeling you last weekend in my rac...Salute.<BR/><BR/>I was channeling you last weekend in my racing double.

Wishing you peace for all that the stories and losses have meant to you.<BR/> <BR/>I remember a West Wing episode .. where the President ordered a bombing ... while attending a musical performance... the last line of the finale was "What was triumphant in war has been made glorious in peace."<BR/>War is all of that, I suppose.<BR/><BR/>Ah yes, Minnesota voters!! The senatorial results are still in limbo. It should be noted that for the last 3 weeks before the election, the Republican Senatorial election committee poured millions of dollars into the coffers of the TV stations here with their hateful negative ugly comic-like anti-Franken ads .. after Coleman had said he was stopping his negative ads.<BR/><BR/>Wow, after this long comment, I hope other people will comment too....Sunshinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12381269071684742007noreply@blogger.com
