Thanks for the thoughts.
I'd take the Command Car out if I wasn't stuck at work (Veteran, now working as a civilian contractor for Government, but the company didn't give today off so we could take the day after Thanksgiving off...)
My wife has to teach school today as well, at least I wrote into her lesson plans "explain what Veteran's Day means" even if the kids can't get out of school.
Using their logic, maybe they can have us work Christmas day, so we can have Jan 2d off following all the partying for the Millenium.....
Odd that the Germans have about 44 holiday's that they get off from work for. Maybe they won after all....... Naw, not the same FREEDOM!
Thanks again for recognizing Veteran's, and those that have sacrificed so much.
