I heard about this country singer the other day. He does a lot with the troops, is a vet and seems to have a "set of stones" too. Country singer Craig Morgan, son help rescue kids from fire Country singer Craig Morgan, son help rescue kids...

I enlisted to "avoid" the draft. That makes me a "draft dodger"!! :p I never saw combat but I am a vet as all others who served are. I did the job that was mine to do to the best of my ability. I served with pride, honor and integrity. I ask nothing that I did not earn.

Try getting that pension. First off, it is ALMOST nothing. Second, it is next to impossible to get a pension for service connected injury these days. I have been trying for more than 40 years and STILL have no final determination. The army has at least admitted that my injuries ARE service...

We will NEVER agree Greg. I hope that you are never faced with dealing with these people. I hope and pray that NO one ever is. I have a sneaky feeling that many who back this kind of "freedom" in theory would NOT back it if it became personal. Maybe even you. I know that many in here to NOT...

Yes, Japan is FAR more "closed" than Italy to immigrants. I was treated GREAT as a visitor, once I got away from the base. All it took was a show of respect for THEIR culture and they went out of their way to be nice. In a more common way, when in Japan do as the Japanese do.

Vets in this country are treated like garbage. Vets were promised certain benefits in return for their service and in many cases those benefits are now being denied. Yes, vets often seem to "get" more than those who did not serve, why? They were promised that they would receive those benefits. A...

Greg, silence is part of some peoples religious ceremony. Shouting at those who are in prayer is NOT allowing them to practice their religion as they believe. That IS interfering with their practice. I agree with the SC decision, it SHOULD have been 9-0. Just as the health care decision should...

This story has MANY sides. There is NO one good answer to the problem. Having ONE language is a good start. People SHOULD be required to have basic command of the language where they live. Back in 1974 I applied to work at Great Lakes Steel in Michigan. I had to take basic tests in reading...

You have no idea in the world what you are talking about. You have NO idea in the world who I am or what I am like. Anger? Sometimes, Frustrations? Of course. Suck to be me? What a laugh. As long as I remain free I have a GREAT LIFE! I hunt, I fish, I spend time with family. I donate time to...

I have never fished there. I used to hunt up that way. I bet the cats are good out of that cold water. The fishing is GREAT where I live, it is the eatin part that is not. You could sink a boat with cats around Lake Erie.

Using your freedom of speech wisely includes having RESPECT for others, like those who are grieving the loss of a loved on killing in the service of this country. Interfering with the most private of ceremonies, the funeral of a loved one, for ANY reason is BEYOND reason. While I agree with...

Thanks, that explains why I don't know who he is. I don't follow country music. Shoot, I don't follow much of any kind of music anymore.

Who is Aaron Tippin?

Yep and I am PROUD to be that kind of "Freak"!! It is a very sad thing, is it not?

Bio-fuel would work. I don't think the fertilizer would. That would just put all that crud right back into the ground and lakes. I would LOVE to "toss" a few carp around at a few people, what a GREAT way to relieve stress!! :p

Some of the less fatty fish are not as bad. Smaller fish are better. I know how to clean fish like perch and walleye to minimize the problems. Look at the guide I posted. I also don't eat them a lot, which is a REAL shame. Fish is good to eat and good for you. It is a crime what has been done to...

I don't think you understood what I meant. When my age group came home the WWII vets looked on us as second class vets. They often flat out ignored us at Legions and VFW's etc. They offered little help to those who needed help with "issues" from their service. It is FAR different these days...

There seems to be a general lack of respect and honesty these days. People even ridicule others who have moral standards. It is sad.

Yes it is. There was a funeral for a young soldier in Monroe, MI last year. The Patriot Guard was there. They did a FINE job. Looked good and VERY respectful. That is what that so called "church group" in missing RESPECT for others. "Rights" only work when people show respect for others.

OH how I wish I could!! I have NO ice fishing tackle, clothing or anything in my truck!! :( I have not ice fished since I came into this business. One of the very BAD parts of this. Just not as much time for the IMPORTANT things in life.
