Thoughts on Veterans....
This coming week has Veteran's Day. I wonder what that means to people today and in this environment. We're a diverse Country with a tremendous amount of Nationalism and an equal amount of 'agree to dis-agree'...Is there really such thing as a popular war? My dad fought in the war to 'end wars' WWII. So did my father-in-law. I was a Marine from 1969-1973. That makes me a Viet Nam era veteran. That certainly wasn't a popular war. But, my musings are about what do people think of veterans these days....I'm a Vet...I don't feel like I'm different than anyone else but I guess I must be. I'll probably blog more later about being in the USMC. Who's going to care about Vets this week?

Oh, Damie's dad...LOVE IT....this is Jen, Damie's Triathlon coach...My dad is a Vietnam Vet and while he won't tell us too much about his experiences - he served in the late 60s/early 70s and I was born in there somewhere, so I care about the Vets! Thanks for your service! Jen H.
I want to hear your marine corps stories, papa!
