Remembering, Veterans Day, November 11, 2021

 

To our oldest generation:

Thank you for believing that freedom was worth fighting for.

Don Madden, Da Nang, Vietnam, 1969

James Clifford McKittrick

Edward Joseph Guillory

William Ellsworth Lemmons

On an observation helicopter, South Vietnam, June 1967.

Originally designated as "Missing in Action".

Also designated as "MIA: Declared Dead While Missing."

But now designated by our government as 

"Unaccounted For" and "Non-recoverable."

Could we please just designate them as 

"Veterans We'd Like to Have Had the Chance to Thank"?

Okay, More Postcards

                                         

My Blog Wrangler has no idea why these images are of different sizes and no idea why some aren't centered even if she clicks on the centering choice and that's why she doesn't do much blogging for me anymore. But I still keep sending her postcards anyway.

In Austin, Texas???

Snow. 

You have got to be kidding us. Finally, something has happened to us that isn't making news commentators blather on, something that has helped us take a nice long nap instead of anxiously doom-scrolling the news. Thank you, Mother Nature.

Happy New Better-Be-Better-Than-Last Year

 
Our New Normal.

My ducks get masks now.
