Errata to above:

if this occuring => if this is occuring

nich wahr => nicht wahr

As long as I am chewing up band width correcting my previous comment, let me give my excuse for sloppy typing. I was up late last night. The elementary school (in one of the larger Oklahoma cities), had a “Thank the Veterans” night and my youngest grandchild (and his mother, my daughter) strong armed me into going. I usually avoid these affairs for a multitude of reasons, but two pairs of vivid blue eyes and moppets of hair very similar in color to what mine used to be was too much to resist. I am glad I went. Guys, all politics aside, American kids are great. It was worth it. The main speaker, a Marine vet, as the the kids ended up the program with a song, “Thank a Vet”, turned to me with tears in his eyes and said, “There is the reason.” I’m afraid I embarrassed my family a tad when I responded with an extremely heart felt “OOOOORRAAHHHHH”.
