Ask any of our real heros. They'll tell you that their actions weren't heroic, just what needed to be done.
My grandfather was a Marine, 1st Marine Div on Guadalcanal during WWII. When I was a kid (8 or 9) I saw his dress blue jacket with all of the medals on it. I asked him "Papa, were you a hero?" What he said has stuck with me ever since.
He quietly replied "No, but I served with a lot of them, and they're still over there".
To all the Veterans here, and everywhere, THANK YOU for your service to this country. You service makes our world a better place.
Happy Veteran's Day to all the Vets out there. Thank you for your dedication, and service.
Since the rain has not started here yet, I am thinking of doing that Applebee's free meal thing. I have to go to my bank anyway, and Applebee's is right across the street. Of course, with my luck, it will not rain until I get in line, and then it will start pouring! )
We got recruited to help decorate Santa's Village for the Christmas Polar Express Train (old steam engine) today. My kids are going to be Santa's helpers - Elves! So, they'll find out at the meeting today what all their job entails. Their pretty excited & I think they get to ride on the train too. So, time to grab a hammer, staple gun & ladder and head to the train depot and after were done... complimentary lunch! It ought to be fun today!
Donna, make sure you take plenty of pics, I want to see that steam engine. Steve, yeah I got the freebie. $2.50 for bus fare, $2.90 for the drinks, and tax, and then I tipped $2.00 so my freebie cost me $7.40, but I am not complaining. I know it would cost a lot more if I paid for the meal. I will do it again next year if the weather holds. The staff was excellent, and I only waited about 20 minutes to get seated.
