To my uncle, who served in the "big war" and whom I never got to meet, to all the fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, relatives and family friends who have given their time, blood, sweat and tears for the people of their towns cities and country.


I hope we all can take a moment and everyone can put aside the inter -service rivalry for a moment at the BIG TABLE.

(I'm to afraid to go to the L&F to get the picnic table..)



Coffee rings, bourbon, champagne and a tip of the hat to the "ole bees turds"

Keep the stories/mentions coming.....We can't forget them.


Done.
