Where a Redneck Jew, a Hispanic Catholic, and a Computer Geek write about Gun Rights, Self Defense and whatever else we can think about.
On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month…
And an old newspaper art I found not too long ago.
I am going to quote myself from the original post.
I think of Memorial Day as WWII/Vietnam/Desert Storm and the Wars of Post 9/11. I never thought that Veterans from the Civil War and WWI would be sharing memories of those who fell, but they surely did.
Semi-retired like Vito Corleone before the heart attack. Consiglieri to J.Kb and AWA. I lived in a Gun Control Paradise: It sucked and got people killed. I do believe that Freedom scares the political elites.

Memorial Hall, in Hahvahd yahd, was contructed as a memorial to members of the Hahvahd community who fell in our Civil War. It has since added lists of names from subsequent conflicts: the Spanish-American War, WWI, WWII, etc.
YMMV
“A generation lost,
we are forever in debt.
One hundred years hence,
lest we forget.”
–from ‘The History of World War One (In One Take)’ by History Bombs.
In my world, the idea of “never forget” has a somewhat different meaning. In that regard, it appears that three quarters of a century is sufficient. I get raised eyebrows and hairy eyeballs in our synagogue, every time I mention that “never forget” is an empty phrase without personal ownership if firearms….
Thank you for remembering.
