I was there and want to tell my freeper friends that the people at Reelfoot Lake are the finest I've ever met.
The last night they were there, at a restaurant in Tiptonville, about every table was occupied.
During the meal someone from every single table, and in some cases whole families, including a lady who has a grandson in Iraq, came over to the table and thanked these wounded vets for their service to this country. Someone also picked up the tab for a table of eight.
PLEASE plan a duck hunting or crappie fishing trip to Reelfoot for a vacation if you are able, and patronize the businesses there. This is a small town and its residents depend on tourism.

Thank you for relating that account to all of us, girlangler. It's good to read they were treated so well by all those fine people.

Nice to hear things like this. My Uncle said that somewhere outside Dallas, there is an old lady who sits outside with her American flag every day to show her support of our troops, the war effort, and our country.
It would be nice if periodically our press could take a break from demonizing America and give a few seconds of air time to something good.
