VETERANS' DAY

Even in Iraq and Afghanistan it's not all shooting and getting shot at. There are also USO shows from time to time.  My grandson, of whom I'm immensely proud, Sgt. Russell Milburn, spent 12 years in the U.S. Army in Bosnia, Iraq and Afghanistan.  Along the way he got to have some fun.

With Louis Black . . . 


. . . and with Robin Williams.

But those were only rays of sunshine in some otherwise dangerous and dreary days.  I salute you, Russell, and thank you for your service.

    Hey, very cool. Give my thanks to your son for his service. Must have been cool to meet those comedians in a place like that and have some stress relieved.

    Yeah, that is very cool that they got to have at least a little fun. They deserve the gratitude of us all. Please thank him for me.
