Its funny, there was an early on prediction that it would reach 1000 today. And there were also predictions it would get yanked. When it got pulled I was in the middle of trying to say that the troublesome posters were ranting about how lowering the flag was some insult to servicemen, yet none of them to my knowledge had any service experience themselves, nor did I see a single posting from any servicemen who were offended by it (I could have missed it though). As a 25 year vet, I know I was not offended by the flag lowering in any way.
Happy New Year to you and yours.
Well it reached well over 1,000 before it got yanked. I just wish I'd saved a few freeper's comments for posterity.
Thank you for your past service and Godspeed.
And all the blessings of the New Year. It was fun chatting on that now dead thread :-)
