A Veteran is someone
who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank
check made payable to 'The United States of
America ' for an amount of 'up to and
including my life.'
This is true, but in my case, it was because my friends and neighbors sent me a message to show up for duty (draft board- January 1952). Jeanie and I just married and knew it was coming. Today's service people are volunteers. That is remarkable. I personally believe that if our non-representatives have us in a shooting war, every eligible male should be part of the draft, or, at minimum, a draft lottery.

That is Honor, and
there are way too many people in this country
who no longer understand it.'
