This day is a salute to folks in the military willing to protect my old ### and mine. I am a hermit but rank lower on Asperger's than some would think.
I go down on my dock as usual on a Saturday with beer "too cold" and music "too loud".
A guy from Georgia boated over I had not seen for a year due to Kung Flu and him getting knee replacements -> old Navy guy.
The new guy from California in my neighborhood came by in a great pontoon with a 200HP motor and shared some beer -> West Point grad.
Guy across the road heard the tunes and walked over for a few. I seldom see that guy --> Army Vet.
On my dock were old soldiers with tales. This is real history, not like some kid on media paid to produce an article every day.
