I the willing,
Have lead the un-knowing,
to do the impossible,
with nothing.
I have done so much,
for so long,
with so little,
I'm now qualified to do anything!

Guys, here is my take on things. Ain't nothing cept a thing. We, us Veterans, followed our path in life. Some for a job skill. Some for an education. Some for a job, some who were drafted and others because we believed in what we were doing. No big deal to most of us I guess. While we appreciate the thanks and acknowledgment it really isn't necessary.
Me? I'm going to a school Veterans program because my 9YO granddaughter begged me, then I will pick up a couple of sheets of plywood and some hardware and go home and work on a couple of projects. I darn sure ain't gonna go stand in line for hours for a free meal! I learned 2 things while serving. 1. Never volunteer for anything! 2. I hate standing in lines!
