Brotherhood of Veterans


I was at our local community college today for a meeting and was a little early so I sat down in the student center. As I looked around I saw quite a few students waiting for classes, studying and talking amongst themselves. I overheard one young man who looked to be about 18 or 19 talking about a friend of his older brother who had just recently came home from Afghanistan and had been in Iraq twice previously. The young man made a remark about how his friends brother had become "weirded out" and how he spent a lot of time talking to a few other veterans about their experiences. He said he thought they were crazy the way they always talked among themselves and that they must be some kind of freaks.

Well here is what I think about that young man who didn't look like he had ever had a job or a bath for that matter and was probably at school on dads coin........

The Perfect Love Song

Boz Scaggs has it going on. He is just about the smoothest singer around in my opinion. Back in the 1980's he had a great hit called "Look What You've Done to Me". Remember the scene from Urban Cowboy where Bud is in the high rise with the girl that picked him up in the bar??? That's the song.
