Good, the parade chokes you up. The way the Reno VA, treats Veterans chokes me up, and not from compassionate pride in the respectful service Veterans receive at that monument of federal indifference to US Military Veterans. BS emotionalism drives every liberal instinct.
Strange as it may be, I have a couple of buddies that swear BY the VA here and others feel they get NOTHING and swear AT it. A couple of folks suggested I should go for meds(no, not THOSE kind of meds) but I haven’t been to even a VA clinic since ‘70. Don’t want to get caught up in yet another govt mess.
Dear extreme,
From my granduncles forward, the only nonvet in the
family, was my mother. I was an active service GI brat.
FAMILY bbq’s, get a pass. In my case, Im the end of the line.
Commercialization, and the government sanctioned
three day weekend, mainly pushed by federal employees,
have rotted what was just one day of reverential respect
and honor, into car buying, mattress buying, spend, spend, spend,
what you have in your pocket, or indebt yourself with your
credit card (which to me aint freedom-with the credit card).
Sure, you can call that freedom, if you like.
My friends died for the America that is not now. That
America had no Communists in office, no minority ruling
class, people proud to work and show the fruits of their
labors, with no president saying that that is too much,
no Congress making laws to spy on us, and not so
much those of foreign origin.
