Veteran's Day is still an observed occasion around here. Big community get together at the high school auditorium this afternoon with the colors presented by our own Army Guard unit that has been deployed to the mid east 3 times (so far). Guest speaker is the State Commander of the VFW. Main street and the court house lawn will both be lined with flags. Many dinners this evening and also many other social get togethers planned by various organizations around town... Our Vietnam Vets club had our Honor Guard raising the US flag at the courthouse this morning, a free lunch this afternoon courtesy of the guy who owns the Subway store in town, and a meeting tonight followed by a get together this evening... The Boy Scout Troop from Madison (who's leader is a Vietnam Vet) will start off the program this evening by reading first the list of those from South Dakota KIA in Southeast Asia, then reading the list of MIA's from the Vietnam Era.
Personally, the Veterans I choose to show the most honor and respect to on this day and all other's is those still on the MIA list.... The war isn't over until EVERYONE returns home!!!

I check in everyday and some are better than others. I don't think Brent has anything to do with the forum anymore, but I'm not sure. Hopefully as time moves on the forum will get better.
Where is everybody?
