This is San Diego, not San Francisco
It's a Navy/Marine town. US Naval Station San Diego, Coronado Amphibious Base, Marine Recruit Depot San Diego, and Marine Corps Air Station Miramar , formerly Miramar Naval Air Station.
But then San Francisco was once a Military town too.
It amazes me that they hold this crap and pretend to care about the troops abroad. All the while forgetting, of course, that every soldier stationed in Iraq at the moment is there by his or her own volition.
That every single one of them must believe that in some way, fighting in Iraq is the single best thing that they could do with his life.
Don't let a single one of them get away with the lie that they care. They clearly don't.
I wish I was still in Orange County, or I'd be there. Memphis is a bit of a commute...
