Now that Veterans Day is over allow me to comment on the subject. It may sound a little cynical and I really do not mean to step on any toes; but someone said this same thing on the talk radio yesterday and it got me to thinking.
First off Veterans Day is NOT Memorial Day. So why they laid a wreath at the tomb of the unknown soldier yesterday is beyond me. Memorial Day is a totally different subject from Veterans Day in my mind.
Yes there are those that bask in the lime light of Veterans Day. You hear or see all year long about their service or even their disability from service. They have license plates or stickers to show it off. For me you would be hard pressed to know I am a disable vet as I do not talk about it.
I guess you may have to be a vet yourself to understand but I did what I did because it is what I wanted to do. Your thanks or pat on the back is not needed as I did not do it for your thanks and would do it again if you thanked me or not. As long as you refrain from spitting in my face we are good. So go ahead and paint your trucks and trailers. Fly your flag; sing your song; or do what ever makes you happy. But realize it is all smoke and mirrors to me.
If you really want to support or thank a vet pick up a gun and stand a post along side him. Tell your child who you raised and nurtured for 18 years goodbye; maybe for the last time; as you watch them board a plane for who knows where. Because until you have done these things you really have no room to comment on the subject.

Today's Featured Article - An Old-Time Tractor Demonstration - by Kim Pratt. Sam was born in rural Kansas in 1926. His dad was a hard-working farmer and the children worked hard everyday to help ends meet. In the rural area he grew up in, the highlight of the week was Saturday when many people took a break from their work to go to town. It was on one such Saturday in the early 1940's when Sam was 16 years old that he ended up in Dennison, Kansas to watch a demonstration of a new tractor being put on by a local dealer. It was an Allis-Chalmers tractor dealership,
