I have stated elsewhere on this site, my affection and appreciation for all the Veterans out there. This post is special appreciation for another Veteran I know very well. She’s not a combat vet, but she did serve during the Viet Nam conflict for 4 years as a USAF medic. She worked in the Emergency Room. She worked Sick Call. She worked General Medicine Clinic. She was NCO in Charge of the Pediatric Clinic and later, the OB/GYN Clinic as well. She was and is the kind of person you always think of when you think about true heroes. I don’t mean the combat hardened, 3 tours under fire, Purple Heart, obvious “I was in war” kind of person. She was and is quiet & unassuming, genuinely humble and doesn’t think that doing the jobs she did, holding the positions she did was a particularly big deal….even if she was only 19-20 years old at the time. If you didn’t already know, you wouldn’t suspect that she had even been in the service. She has never been one to say much about it……Actually, if you were observant, you might pick up a distinct no-nonsense, get it done attitude, reminiscent of the type person you would expect to find in a position of authority in the military and elsewhere. She has always had the attitude “do the job, do it well!” The funny part of that is she was always driven by her work ethic and never really gave much thought to whether “rewards” would be greater or not. Of course they usually were because of that very attitude, but she didn’t hunt for them. She still has that same ethic, 40 odd years later. So, I would like to make this a special statement of appreciation for a fellow Veteran, whom I admire for those very qualities that make ordinary men and women into heroes. I truly believe that if the situation demanded it, she would be a fearsome opponent.........One like you usually think of when someone uses the term Veteran or Hero This one is both! This one happens to be my wife!

I am venting here, I just bought a 2004 venture, and one of the harley guys asked me when I was going to move up. I told him I was not ready for a Goldwing yet. Then he said, No I mean up to a harley, to which I replied, that going down, not up. I get tired of that attitude that I are ridding something less than they are because I don't ride a harley. It use to be a joke, but I have began to take it personally. just venting Gregg

Jt has been activated and is at Camp Shelby now, he will be going too Oklahoma soon for training. from there i think he has some leave time home then to Afghanistan in July. I'll check on the dates. Jake is leaving for Iraq from San Diego in the morning. Jake has had so much trouble with his soon to be X-WIFE calling his command to complain about one thing or the other. And from this and several NJP's (her phone calls and his attitude) He now holds the rank of PFC instead of L CPL. Please keep my boys in your prayers. If you would like to encourage them, I will send you their e-mail, just let me know.
