To all the brave that serve and have served this country, God Bless you.

We generally find ourselves in the Baldwin County area of Alabama for Veterans day each year. This whole gulf coast area of Alabama/Florida is very patrotic.

At Applebees the waitress gave me a free beer with a different type of coaster. I turned the coaster over and there was a handwritten message from a young lady named Brie. She was thanking Vets for their service.

I asked the waitress about the free beer and coaster. She said prior to yesterday and restaurant sold coasters to customers for $2.00 so that they could be passed out to Veterans. The reverse of the coaster read "Buy A Vet A Bud Light" (Folds Of Honor organization).

Very cool! They do that in St. Louis also. I have been going to the same Applebees for 6 years & always enjoy their Veterans day meal. Around noon, there was 20 Vets in there enjoying the hospitality. This year, I left my beer for the next guy. Before lunch, I always stop at Hair Saloon for Men for a nice cup of coffee & cut.

Been there done that. Real thunder is when the mortar rounds are walking down the path toward where you are woken up from your sleep.

Hey, I became very disappointed in the WW group as I found out that of the millions of dollars given to our men and women, who have given so much for this great country, only 10% actually goes to the helping of those in real need.

I find this troubling as millions of dollars are being pocketed instead of going to the cause many think they're helping. Another sham someone has come up with knowing they'll get millions from well wishing and generous people who love our country and want our men and women taken care of or at least helped our of the pits our country has put them in.

Just my .02!!

May GOD bless our brothers and sisters who are and did serve this GREAT COUNTRY.

That’s nothing new, it’s the same for the Girl Scout troops. Most of the cookie sales profits goes towards the corporate level. The troops themselves don’t get squat

Yep...thru the years I have found this same situation in several of what I thought were do-gooder organizations.

They have cleaned up their act somewhat the past few years.

The Secretary of Defense just fired SecNav. I haven't seen a replacement named yet.

 

[MikeyTX]

I sure as hell don't want the job. I did my thing for unc ah sam back in the mid 60's

The Secretary of Defense just fired SecNav. I haven't seen a replacement named yet.

Per Fox News, Defense Secretary Mark Esper suggested President Trump nominate retired Adm. Kenneth Braithwaite, the U.S. ambassador to Norway, to succeed Spencer. Trump agreed he would nominate Braithwaite.

I was hoping Spencer would be let go for going against the President.

Isn't being fired better than being thrown under the bus or is it one in the same in this case? I've not heard why he was fired. Anyone know or will we ever know?:Shrug::Shrug::Shrug:

Gross mishandling of the Eddie Gallagher case, he helped railroad a fine US Navy Seal.

I understand that she's not just a bad liar but she is also Harvard's first "woman of color" Professor, since when is white a color??

White is the lightest color, And has no hue......And is the opposite of Black...

 

[Jack Klarich]

She lied and said she was Native American. This turns out to be false

Also why Trump calls her Pocahontas

I understand the color white, but if you went to a minority and told them you where a man of color they'd laugh you out of the building.

I believe she has used all her lies to get where she is and that is falsifying docs. to get where she got too, should have all her shit stripped from her and lose her job in Government. Just my .02

I went to high school with her.

She wasn't native then.
