No disrespect at all intended, I always admired Mr. Tonk and was very saddened by Tonk’s passing

Acknowlegement is not the lexicon defined use for “bump” but I, and others, have used it that way as a type of FR slang (I guess) for a long time now.

Thanks very much for the first-hand report on this “protest.” Kudos to all who joined the “counter protesters,” and to all the Tacomans who ignored the punks.

I offer my thanks and a hearty bravo zulu to you sir.

That is the recruiting office in which I signed up for my 6 glorious years of service in the USN...back in 1985 (entered service in 1986).
