New roots grow in fertile soil. Glad to see the thread restarted in this newest endeavor Uncle Phil.
A few years ago our local Wal-Mart asked the scout troop I help with to dispose of several hundred American flags in the appropriate manner, and it took several campouts to do this. It seems that the flags in question were made in China and no one would buy them. I found it nice to know that the almighty buck doesn't always win, and that Wal-Mart occasionally learns a lesson.
Sometimes it matters to me if someone is a combat veteran. Not for anything bad, but that they had to put forth the supreme effort and put their life on the line, and should be honored for it. I am not a combat veterean. I am what's known as a Vietnam Era veteran. I'm still proud to be a U.S. Navy veteran though.
God Bless America and our service people everywhere.
