5 1/2 years in a hole [View all]

Last edited Sun Aug 26, 2018, 12:26 PM - Edit history (3)

Think about where you were in March 2013.

Five and half years. My daughter was 7 years old and I walked her to the neighborhood school. I can't imagine missing the last 5 1/2 Years with her.

This is the pause I have to take regarding John McCain. He could have been out in 8 MONTHS but he said No.

I dismiss his politics in this in part because I also served (Cav Scout '90-93) and continue to serve. There's also the MAN UP part of it (step up and be a MAN) too.

Jesus! My God! 5 1/2 Years?

Thanks John. What else can I say.
