Geezer Alert!
Our two cents..
OWB posted this elsewhere and I opted to share it here: Against my better judgement, a few thoughts are proffered on whatever that display was yesterday in Washington, DC.

If You’ve Jumped Out of Army Aircraft – With a Parachute!
Preface: Some time ago I did a post here about my late father-in-law. In WWII he was one the first airborne soldiers that went to war. He participated in Operation Market Garden although in a glider. He told me a story or two that his family had never heard. Like being warned to pick up […]

Two or three times a year some of us geezer types get a bit tangled up in old times. Late April and much of May include several dates that trigger memories here. Late April because my pop was declared KIA in Korea on April 25, 1951. Early May because years ago I was discharged on May […]

ANSWER was gonna do some protesting at The Wall in DC. A coupla geezers decided to organize a counter effort. Captain […]
It’s Sunday – So here is a Sunday Funny.
So many somber and serious events and posts seem to demand a little levity for relief. If you are a Navy vet think about the first time you heard it. If you were relegated to one of the lesser branches just smile. Doesn’t require much more elaboration folks, besides it don’t make one gay to […]
