Cheri was talking about an expediter that has vets autograph her truck to show her thanks for their service. It is very real and heartfelt unlike much of the "thank you for your service" BS that is spouted these days.

You would jump in, these days, many would not. They just leave them in their cars to freeze or roast.

Sorry Cheri, I thought you were talking about what the families of those who were deployed were having to contend with. I misunderstood. That has not changed, ever. If anything it is a bit better now than before. By the time I got out, in 1973, vets were being denied jobs because of their...

Nope, give it to me. I could fix it, easy. The Detroit area is one of the GREATEST opportunities out there today.

Many who played "football" go on to play rugby after they are too banged up to play football anymore. Besides, I played hockey, now THAT is a rough sport. No helmets, no padding, just sticks, skates, pucks and sub zero temps. GEE, that explains a LOT!

Not just those who returned from Vietnam. Keep in mind that those who fought in another theater of the "Cold War", like Vietnam was, the Korean War also known as the "Forgotten War", were treated like garbage as well. True, they were not spit on in airports or refused work because of their...

I don't watch the Animal Planet Channel. FAR too much BS on that channel for my liking.

Yep, right there on Sibley Road in Riverview. I worked there between my junior and senior year at Riverview High.

Hey, don't knock those landfills, talk about a real "gold mine". The one I worked on in high school, the one that is now part of a golf course, produces tons of natural gas now. Just another alternative fuel, a cleaner fuel than oil, to help solve our energy crisis..

"Huh? I have never seen a greater public display of appreciation for vets than since Obama took office! There's not a day goes by without someone posting a "Thank a vet" tribute on facebook, and aside from Load One's 2 new military appreciation themed t/ts, I know of 2 other O/O trucks with...

You put puppies in a bowl? :eek:

Many wounded soldiers that I know are having a rough time of it. Sub-standard wound care and ill fitting limbs are leading to infections. Then there is the more serious problem of sending wounded soldiers back into combat who should not be there. Example: Michigan resident, Paul, 3 Purple...

Much of Michigan is drained swamp/marsh land. It is very much subject to rising and falling water levels of the Great Lakes and other major water sources. That creates much more movement of road beds than is found in drier states and they are also more prone to frost heave damage. I think more...

One or the other for sure. I would prefer to see the 49'ers, I can't stand teams from Maryland. Other than that I would like it go down to 2 seconds left with a 6 point difference at that point, 4th and goal.

*SIGH* Not THAT nice.

In a nice motel room with a 40" plasma TV in the room. No truck stop this weekend.

I don't see where she has accomplished any more than thousands of war wounded have and she did it with care that no "normal person" or vets ever get. She gets "special care", health care that most cannot afford. She is/was part of the 'privileged ruling class'. The "special ones". She has...

I have found the VA hospitals to be pretty good for the most part. Then again I have been rather lucky. I have been going to the VA in Ann Arbor MI since 2000 and have had the same primary care doctor the entire time. My Dad also has the same doctor. I seldom have to wait for my appointment...

It's six weeks until the first day of spring. Phil is drunk as always.

No, many would do nothing. Too many times I have seen people just stand around and watch people in trouble rather than helping. They are afraid for their own safety or law suits. Even worse, I have seen them drool over the chance to leer at bodies or injured people. These guys should be...
