Tony, that DD 214 don't mean much unless is says honorable on it. My oldest son has one too, his says honorable. He is now very anti military and anti war even though he was AF and never even close to combat. He truly believes that we as intelligent people should all just get along. SO I guess the big question is are you proud of your service? Or were you forced into it? Or maybe was just one of those guys who joined for the GI bill???? My son joined because he didn't want to go to school after high school (he now has and has a degree).
He fails to realize that some people get into positions that threaten others and that they have to be dealt with. People like Hitler and Bin Laden. Sactions don't work and never will. Actions work. Our weak point is our politicians are most of the problem. They are quite willing to send our young men and women in harms way without regard to the single biggest consideration.......can we accomplish our objectives! If they think we can do that then they need a plan of attack and a plan of occupation then a plan for withdrawal prior to sending anyone anyplace. I don't much care for our current president. Didn't much care for the former one and really hate the one before that. So don't go thinking I'm a "Neocon" or anything else. I try to see things as they are, not how I would like them to be. After seeing and doing what I've seen and done I wouldn't wish it on anyone. But I'm real glad that some of our younger people are stepping up to the plate!
I'm also very proud to have served some of the best people I could have ever served....the American people! See, I didn't serve because I had to. I darn sure didn't serve for the money (in fact told my wife when she wanted me to quit that I would serve until I stopped believing in what I was doing)(the getting to play on tanks was just a binnie!). I didn't serve to wave the flag. I darn sure didn't serve for our politicians. I like most of our other service members sacrificed too. I missed watching my kids grow up (was deployed when the oldest graduated HS...ECT).
So carry on with whatever your agenda is and HAVE A GREAT 4TH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Today's Featured Article - On the Road with Dave Gohl: Auction Musings - by Dave Gohl. I was thinking the other day about all the auctions I've been to in the last few years. There've been many. Some have been very good, some have been well, disappointing to say the least. But no matter how good or bad auctions may be, we always seem to stay until the item we've come for or are interested in is on the block. I've been to some auctions near and far. I think the furthest has been the Two Cylinder 7 in the Amana Colonies last year. Lots of stuff, lots of people. I've also atten
