Veteran's Day 2016
Posted: Fri Nov 11, 2016 1:26 pm
Sort of slipped up on me this year.
Just got back from a program for Veteran's Day at the school where 3 of my grandchildren attend. I had some dog tags made up for them with some of my facts in case they want to remember some time in the future. Nice program and I'm glad I was able to attend.
We gathered in a utility room before hand, I got there early so I picked a table facing the door so I could find the kids as they came in. Another gentleman joined me and we got talking, now this was a real treat, he too was a dog handler! Patrol dogs rather then the scout/mine/tunnel work I did. Just not that many of us around so this was a surprise for sure.
So I hope this day is a good one for you fellow veteran's. We are flying out POW/MIA flag today, don't hear it mentioned much but they are veteran's too.

Ran out of tool money so I can't even go to Lowe's and use my discount today.... 19 more days before the new budget takes hold.
