Good Morning Blogosphere!!!

Hello Interwebs & Interwebs readers!  Happy (belated) Veteran's Day!  After a 3-month writing vacation I figure it's time to return to the keys.  My last 3-months have been fraught with unemployment & job seeking; joy of joys. That's one thing you never seem to see in the heroic movies: the hero's life stopping cause they're out of money.  Granted, people go to such movies to get away from the pains of reality so I know why such struggles are not included.  Reality kinda sucks.Any who, I am not dead, I've just been dead in the water with writing.  But I am back now.  Thank you for your patience :-) 

Yesterday was Veteran's Day as it is observed by the Banks & Government Institutions and so this last weekend I've seen a number of the "thank a Vet" posts across Facebook & the internet. This one, however, stuck out to me:  
                 
Adrian Cronauer, the actual radio DJ from "Good Morning Vietnam" said: "It was not unknown when I yelled 'Good morning Vietnam!' for some of the troops to turn to their radios and yell the GI equivalent of 'Get stuffed, Cronauer!' and on one occasion a guy picked up his M-16 and blew away his radio."

This Veteran's Day please thank the veterans you know for their sacrifices.  Also thank the veteran supporters: the family & helpers of the veterans you hold dear.  These supporters may have been one of the few things keeping your cherished veteran alive (or sane) so you could thank them.
