Where is my hankie? This is a wonderful show of the caring of more than a few Americans. And what Mike said is so true......

Not to sound like a Puritan or anything, but with the amount of alcoholism that exists in the military are we sure we need to facilitating things?

My Grandfather was an alchoholic. A very fine man and successful but he would have done so much more if not for his Alchoholism.
He had 13 children, 6 boys and 7 girls. All the boys became alchoholics and all the girls hated liquor just like their Mother. Several of the boys lives were ruined by their drinking.

I am sorry for the problems in your family. I wish that they were unique. I have no problem with people enjoying alcohol responsibly. But we take 18 and 19 year-old kids into the military for a reason: They are easier to lead because they are not completely formed adult minds. They are impressionable.

that it is those of us within the middle class or less income... that the average Americans are the most generous people on earth!!! Ask anyone in the hospitality industry. The best tippers aren't the 'whales', the best tippers are the ones who know what it's like to wait on the 'whales'.

To: Looking4Truth

I assume it is people like PIAPS who is to troubled to worry about paying a bill much less tipping a waiter...

True we build men to follow orders, yet today's volunteer military is the best because the men and women want to be lead by good leaders they respect and most importantly...TRUST...that is why dims can never be allowed again to get the power to lead our troops...they are not worthy of trust...Hillary would be the worst CIC in any World view and in America...

I agree with you. I was just saying that there is no need to encourage drinking among our soldiers.

The generous lady in Texas is an Angel.
She's blessed and probably doesn't even know it.

Cool that she paid for the ring in a way that wouldn't embarrass him
