Jason Zweig: For Veterans’ Day

Ted

FYI: I never served in the U.S. military, but my father fought in World War II. A former journalist himself, he was a great storyteller, but my dad never talked about the battles he’d been in. He was a warrant officer who commanded a minesweeper, a small ship in “the Army’s Navy.” He was posted to South America, to Africa, and then finally to the South Pacific.
Regards,
Ted

For Those Who Have Served Past and Present:

American Anthem: Nora Jones:

Hi Guys,

I too proudly salute our brave military. Here is a Link to the best anti-war song ever composed:

All those who serve and have served do a dirty but needed job. Congratulations to all of us, brothers forever.

Best Wishes

The LYRICS to Ted's offering, in case anyone else needs to see them in print, in order to follow along with the song. "Just follow the bouncing sphere!" I cannot guaranty that there are no mistakes, though.

By the way, that link from Ted holds lots more worth reading.
