[AMRadio] Happy Memorial Day Weekend

Sun May 29 01:13:57 EDT 2011

Yes it still bothers me every Memorial Day from memory that when I was a 
fresh out of college and a Navy Aviation Officer Candidate in training 
as a pilot in 1969 that when I got leave and went to visit my fraternity 
brothers after seeing my parents that I was harassed while in uniform 
(orders for travel) walking across my college's campus to the frat 
house.  Yep the spitting, name calling, ........I just kept eyes forward 
but wanting to 'clean their clocks'.    I hated that war personally from 
the political standpoint, but did my thing as many thousands of others 
did scared to death.  It's taken many years to even speak about this.

Yes, go to the "Wall" just once, and preferably alone, and get it out 
once and for all.  But don't allow that past to mandate you life, as 
life will and does go on.

Each new dawn brings sunshine to those somewhere in this world.  And 
this is good.  Sometimes it shines on us to behold.
