FYI folks, veteran totals are down to about 7% of the adult US population.

When you run into 4 of them in random locales, be suspicious.

Though I don’t qualify as “military family”, per se, I have these links: My dad was US Army in mid 1950s, Husband USMC late 1960s, his dad USMC WWII Pacific, my son and 2 stepsons USMC Iraq War, my son-in-law US Army Afghanistan and later DoD contract employee Kenya/Somalia.

No Navy vets, but some bona fide heroes in there.

Good advice, generally, but Free Republic isn’t random. It brings patriots out of the corners.
