I'd gladly give each and every military person tax free combat or not. My Dad was Career too. He enlisted when he was barely 17 years old, his friends Mom forged permission papers for him to join right out of high school. He had a nice duty in occupied Japan and a nasty deployment of the first to go to Korea and kept getting his tour re-upped mandatory. Things were a little different back then. But he came back body intact and in control of his mind, fortunate. I had Uncles that came back from WWII messed up for life. My youngest Uncle that passed this summer (on the same day as my Aunt, his older sister) was in Vietnam in a nasty deployment, he also came back pretty much sound. Came home went to college and lived the life the average person does.

Given my families dedication to the military I have a real soft spot for Veterans Day and what it means to all of us in appreciation of those who served for us. It has been an annoying week for me with the weirdness in the news surrounding WW1. Both sets of my my Grandparents immigrated just after WW1 to the USA, fortunate enough to survive all that on the other side of the pond to grab a boat and get the heck out of there. The nuttiness and lack of heartfelt appreciation to veterans I could have done without this weekend. And a Big {{{HUG}}} of appreciate to you to my friend. Never forgotten. Always appreciated and respected.

Agreed! My grandfather fought in WWI, 2 of my uncles served in WWII, and the other would have if he hadn't been too young. One of the uncles was shot, probably in the battle of the bulge, but we don't know for sure because he had PTSD and never talked about it. My dad was in the military and served in Korea, but busted up his knee during basic training and ended up doing clerical work, much to his disappointment. And my aunt was a nurse, pretty sure part of that was during WWII as well, and I found pictures of some cousins in uniform, one female, though I don't know in what capacity she served...almost has to have been a nurse, right? But I have so much respect for all of them.

So officially finished bathroom except for a few finishing touches I may add later. I went with the gray walls because both my Dd and DH reminded me that we had peach walls when she was little. I had to go back through some old photos. I like the gray. It looks polished and modern. So here is a couple of pictures. We kept the vanity top because I am not paying $1,000 for one to match. 😉View attachment 326113View attachment 326114

Looks nice! Understated and simple, but kind of elegant in its own way. I like it. And $1000 just for that little counter space! Yikes!

Literally just received an email from T’s coach. He made the team and will remain, the club is notifying all players today, individually. I have no idea when we’ll see the roster. I’m assuming they’ll update our team website soon. I still don’t like this. :(

Secondly, we formally withdrew from Cub Scouts yesterday. I know T is a little sad over it. I told him he can join Boy Scouts in a few years, if he wants to.

Congratulations T! You did the right thing by withdrawing him from Cub Scouts.

I didn't quote all your posts, but thanks for sharing these pictures. The museum looks very interesting, it is someplace we would be interested in visiting sometime. Looks like T had a good time too especially that one of him in the plane.
