“The very sad thing about the story to me is that when he placed his precious Medal of Honor in the scanning box, the airport attendants didn’t know what it was. There is much more to this story that you can read here, but the short version is that Mr. Finn was treated atrociously by the airline. “

There was a similar incident shortly after 9/11 with MOH recipient Joe Foss.

It’s disgusting.

Morning everyone! :)

Good morning and (((HUGS))) EG. Even though we had a rainy weekend (Friday and Sat. anyway- Sunday was gorgeous!) it’s going to be a warm week and chance of rain during the week. Trying to catch up on work. I’ll have to go to Colorado in the middle of the month so will have to start preparing for that.

Whatz up out your way? How was the weekend?

Morning, Beachie!

Good weekend on my end.

My wife and I were commenting over the weekend that this is the latest ever that we're seeing trees and flowers bloom, a month later.

Must be global warming! :=)

How 's things your way?!

Good morning, Meg ((hugs))

Did you get any of that strange storm that is making its way across the country?

Good morning beachy. (((HUGS))) to you too.

No, we were at ground zero for that storm. I have hail damage all over my area. Trees look like the dead of winter again. Every roof in our neighborhood is damaged. Some plants in my garden are gone.

My lawn and the golf course look like practice greens with ball marks touching each other. My pickup, the daughter’s car and our friend’s pickup have hail damage.

Good morning, pro

All is well out here. We got plenty of rain on Friday and Saturday. Sunday was beautiful, partly cloudy, and in the 70s.

Did you go to the beach? NO! Don’t tell me (covering ears)! LOL
