I too have done much the same thinkin, and here's my decision:
No matter who is right or wrong, the purpose of this daily thread is to support all facets of our military, whether they be active, reserve, retired, or passed away. So there really was no choice, but to stay and help provide that support. I know there are some who will not come back, and others I hope will return.

Tonk; You're busy today, so Station #51 will provide transportation.

Station #51 is Open
There's doughnuts and coffee in the kitchen.

Time Out: 09:47
KMG-365

YES, I'M A SENIOR CITIZEN!

I'm the life of the party...... even if it lasts until 8 p.m.
I'm very good at opening childproof caps... with a hammer.
I'm usually interested in going home before I get to where I am going.
I'm awake many hours before my body allows me to get up.
I'm smiling all the time because I can't hear a thing you're saying.
I'm very good at telling stories; over and over and over and over...
I'm aware that other people's grandchildren are not nearly as cute as mine.
I'm so cared for -- long term care, eye care, private care, dental care.
I'm not really grouchy, I just don't like traffic, waiting, crowds, lawyers, loud music, unruly kids, Toyota commercials, Tom Brokaw, Dan Rather, barking dogs, politicians and a few other things I can't seem to remember right now.
I'm sure everything I can't find is in a safe secure place, somewhere.
I'm wrinkled, saggy, lumpy, and that's just my left leg.
I'm having trouble remembering simple words like.......
I'm beginning to realizing that aging is not for wimps.
I'm sure they are making adults much younger these days, and when did they let kids become policemen?
I'm wondering, if you're only as old as you feel, how could I be alive at 150?

And, how can my kids be older than I feel sometimes?

I'm a walking storeroom of facts..... I've just lost the key to the storeroom door.


Yes, I'm a SENIOR CITIZEN and I think I am having the time of my life!

Hi Johnny. It's so good to hear you're back at the Canteen. I think there's been a lot of soul-searching and my hope is that one day all will come to your same conclusion. Our troops need our support more than ever now. Great to see you!
