As a Veteran, I'm all for curb appeal.

Funny story....Friend of a friend living in Chicago....Wakes up one morning to some blaring music, sounds like "YMCA". Opens up the curtains to his window to a full backside view of a man dressed as a cowboy, wearing assless chaps.

Man, Sleeper's having a return to power. People actually seriously arguing with him both here and on the Paterno threads instead of just telling the Internet Act to go away and let the real people talk.

Wonders never cease.

I just don't like the fact that Verteran's Day hijacked Armistace Day.

Yes, plus the free meals veterans get is pretty nice too. I like it.

If they didn't get paid, then I would give them all the praise in the world. They are doing a job they signed up for, just like any other profession.

So every other day we should not recognize these veterans? Noted.
I made $86 a month and sent half home to my mother so family could live better. You sicko.
