Posting so I can put this in my journal n/t

Still miss that good man.

Rest in light, pinboy.

Door buzzard

Trump had no say about McCain's funeral

Laying in state in the Capital Rotunda is approved by Congress

The Dean of the National Cathedral approves all services held there

McCain as a retiree and Purple Heart recipient was entitled to full military honors during the service and interment

So another lie to add to the list of 30K plus

Yup.

I've managed to keep my rage just simmering. If I listen and watch this, it will go to rolling boil. I'm already max'ed out on BP meds.

"Yes dear."

Difficult choice. I'll go with this one

Well gee, he made a couple of mistakes.

Outside of that, he did confirm that God does watch out for drunks, fools and the USA.

Firstly, that is not an attitude limited to service personnel

My favorite face palm bumper sticker: Keep the gov't's hands off my social security. I know the proud owner never spent a day in the service. In fact an overwhelming majority of the Republican party has that mind set. "I got mine; screw you." They don't make up the bulk of VFW or American Legion membership. He's a mild Trumper? I rest my case.

Contrary to popular belief, service personnel (one and done, career or retired) are not cloned in a secret site in Nevada. We're individuals and one size does not fit all. Further, civie world had as much if not more influence on our individuality as the service. I submit your acquaintance is a retail asshole and has been long before he rolled off the bus at Port Not The End of the Earth, but You Can See It from Here.

As for your question about his health care, if he isn't on it already, he's eligible for Tricare for Life. It's a sweet deal; a deal everyone in this country should have. Uncle fully pays any essential health care. Can't get a face lift or tummy tuck on his dime, but keeping you alive and in reasonably good health, yes. Not sure about his family's eligibility.

Post of the day. Delightful

Thanks.

Why it was a hard lession?

Way back machine to February 19th: Typical day, much like yesterday and probably tomorrow, my husband was doing his thing, me, mine. I didn't see him leave for his rehab PT, no problem he'd be back in a couple of hours. A couple of hours later cops show up to inform me I was a widow. Very untypical day, might even say unique at least for me. So, my tomorrow would be very different (if I would have any) and my late husband wouldn't have any more.
