What passes for news in my town?
.
.
Oh no! The poor girl. Being roosterless is a terrible thing.
Or so I’ve heard…
A while back I made a Facebook Veterans Day post with some photos of the hubby in uniform. I found these after the fact.
.
.
In Beirut, Lebanon October 1983 with the bombed out Marine barracks in the background.
.
.
He took 12 bodies out of that building.
.
.
A horrible day.
.
.
This one was in Newport, Rhode Island (not sure of the year) He was receiving a commendation for saving a man’s life.
That’s my husband. And yes, I’m proud.

Okay, maybe you didn’t used to drink in the woods…. but I was a teenager who grew up on an Island in Maine. We drank everywhere.
.
And finally, an update.
.
.
Yay.
I love a happy ending.

River's world..... 
Thank your husband for his service. My hats off to him and those like him.

You have every right to be proud of your husband – I am!
Did that chicken cross the road while out? Did they ask her why?

Thank you. It’s nice that people fully realize the sacrifices now. When he got back from Vietnam he was spit on. No serviceman or woman should ever experience that.

I had a very good friend who came back from ‘Nam and ran into that same thing. It was sad then, and it’s not much better now. People who suspend their lives for service to their country definitely deserve better.

Protest the policies that put our people in harms way, not the people themselves. I hope we learned that lesson.

Aww, great post!
Your hubby was very handsome.
We also have news like that in my small town, although it’s not as small as it used to be. But our local rag posts stuff about bikes being stolen and someone drunk being held in a jail cell until they sobered up.

As with others that commented, please thank your hubs for his service to our country. I appreciate it, as I’m sure many others do. As for those darn chickens…geez, lol. And there’s use to be a small patch of woods near my small hometown, and I know what drinking in the woods is like, lol.

I highly recommend drinking in the woods. Just be sure to take out what you bring in.

Drinking in the woods leads to peeing in the woods —
Or so I’ve heard
And I’m also glad to hear they found the hen
To give the rooster the bird.
P.S. From a fellow veteran who was fortunate enough to serve ‘between wars,’ may I add my thanks for his service to your husband.
