Dave you just have to register online and every time you use your Lowe's card, even for online purchases, it gives you the 10% discount. It only takes about 10 seconds for them to verify that you are a vet.

We tipped glasses last night with a Vet friend and his wife. Had a good time and did several toasts to the those that didn't make it back. Lots of free lunches around today. I'm going to pass them up but its a nice gesture.

Local sub shop had a buy one, get one free special for vets. That's the extent of my taking advantage of the day!

My grandson's 8th grade class was visited by a WWII vet recently. He talked a lot about the war and where he served. They were very impressed as they did not know much about WWII. Now my grandson wants to learn more about it. I served during Viet Nam and we discussed that war. Nice to see kids interested in what our veterans did for them.

Anyone see the Discovery Channel series "Taking Fire"? Well done, first person account with soldiers carrying Go-Pro cameras. 101AB in Afghanistan.

Why don't people ever talk about the Korean war? If I was a vet from that war I would feel very excluded, like I had done something awful. All wars are awful.
