There are too few vets of WWII left among us, and this country is lucky to have had men of courage and character answer the call. Now more than ever we need these types of individuals to stand up to the Marxist / Socialists among us.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19929098.post-38452552985736697392011-06-28T13:55:06.455-07:002011-06-28T13:55:06.455-07:00Yes, Chicago still has its moments.

I was talking to a member of one of the destroyer escort teams that hunted U-boats in that pivotal year when Hitler almost succeeded in starving England out of the war. He gave me some details I never knew on the capture of the U-505 and the Enigma codes it contained. <br /><br />But the high point for me came when he asked me if I had served and I told him yes, I was in Viet Nam. He then reached out and grabbed my hand and said "Now it's my turn to shake your hand. It was awful what they did to you guys when you returned, and I never agreed with that." I then looked him in his still clear blue eyes and told him that the reason I went in the first place was that he and his comrades-in-arms were my heroes, and I wanted to be like them. We parted then, and I realized that this may have been the last time I talk to a veteran of the Big One. Yes, a great day in Chicago.kilo4/11https://www.blogger.com/profile/17173092320793595572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19929098.post-6166381427108353412011-06-27T23:51:24.190-07:002011-06-27T23:51:24.190-07:00I see the next Food Network Star in the making her...I see the next Food Network Star in the making here!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19929098.post-72259986395224146422011-06-25T08:26:17.696-07:002011-06-25T08:26:17.696-07:00Hey Paul, I can't see your concealed carry!
