I would like to say Thank You for your many years of dedicated service, must have been tough in those latter years as you aged closer and closer to 80 ;o). May I offer one correction to your site? As you mentioned ~ Military men & women get bummed out when called the wrong "thing"; such as calling a Marine a Soldier for example. You commented that the US Coast Guard is not part of the military. That is incorrect, they are. Additionally, never call a Coast Guardsman a Sailor. Navy men & women are Sailors, not Coast Guardsmen. So, (you dumbass), fix your blog! haha, I had to add that part, just poking fun at one of your comments that made me laugh really, really hard because it is so very true and heard by all of us Veterans at some point ... "You’d be surprised how often the person tells me: “…uhhh…I don’t know. Is there a difference? Yes there is a difference you dumbass.", hahahaha<br /><br />Love your blog, Thanks for posting :o)Lynn PAWZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07728148845549791982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3486091724602248905.post-18118120882274827732012-06-12T10:55:11.206-07:002012-06-12T10:55:11.206-07:00As a Sailor, from a family of Sailors (4 generatio...As a Sailor, from a family of Sailors (4 generations, now, from WW1 to Iraqi Freedom).
