Sean,

  Or as Toby Keith sang in his new song..."Happy Birthday, America --
Whatever's Left Of You". :(

  He and the late Merle Haggard were right...the latter with "The
Fightin' Side Of Me". Every time I see a veteran, I make it a point
to thank them profusely for their service. My late father served in
the US Submarine Service during World War II, and retired as an E-9
Master Chief Quartermaster in 1987, 20 years before his death from
pancreatic cancer. 

  I never would've passed the physical...I was born without arches 
in my feet, and had poor eyesight until I was 50. The teacher in 
elementary school told my parents (both dead and gone now) that "He 
can't tell time"...to which my parents said "He likely can't see the 
clock". Along that line, I feel naked without wearing a watch; at 
least I can check the time on the cellphone.
