A Veteran, whether active duty, retired, national guard, or reserve, is someone who, at one point in his or her life, wrote a blank check made payable to "The United States of America" for an amount of "up to and including my life."

[#welcome][#welcome][#welcome] Gettin kinda nosy arn't ya tom? As a wee one I used to sit on the platform and put pennies on the rails when the steam locomotive pulling the local slowed to pick up orders from the station agent. I also learned to send and recieve morse code from the local telegrapher. Late at night when I hear the westbound sound the warning at the grade crossing (about 5 miles west of here) I still remember lying awake at night and hearing the steam whistle when the midnight train passed through town. That coal smoke sure smelled good also. That's how old I am and that's why I am getting involved again. Jerry
