D-Day Forgotten

For all of the kind words we've seen and heard recently regarding car owner, Bud Moore and his exploits, along with thousands of other Allied soldiers, on D-Day to ensure our freedom, I was highly miffed that our local Charlotte paper carried absolutely no mention of the 67th anniversary of D-Day. They can print every instance of Obama sneezing, but not one single, solitary word to remember our heroes on that historic June 6th anniversary. I am getting ready to write that bunch of left wing, bleeding hearts a short missive.

Here! Here! Dave. If the paper carries the Peanuts comic strip, there was a mention of D-Day in the paper. At least our State Newspaper did carry a story on a guy who joined the Navy in October, 1941, when he was 12 and was on board one of the ships that shelled the beach at Omaha. I have real issues with today's society overlooking the holidays in our country honoring the men and women that keep us free. Our local school system had a make-up snow day on Memorial Day and I was really hot. Ann didn't want me to write the Editor because I can't be nice with such issues. I already took on the assinine school board once and the paper wouldn't print the letter even though it was not "mean". Turns out, six weeks after the issue was resolved the way the school board wanted, it came to light that everything said by the school board was lies, plain and simple. Flat out lies. Then, after having the kids go to school on Memorial Day, I find out they were watching movies because there was no school work to do. There are several issues with education in this country and one of the main ones seems to be school board members who have no reverence for our military. Oh well, didn't mean to high jack your post, but we sure see eye-to-eye on this issue.

What a change! It's been awhile since I've checked in and I'm quite surprised. It may take me awhile to figure it our but first look it's really great.
