I can’t seem to connect correctly. The image says to choose a level, below for the fundtaiser, but there is no below. Just blank space and the blurb about modifying subscription. I have completely disabled Surfhark so VPN should not be an issue. Makes it hard to support the strip.
You mentioned earlier you were taking the drive down to fix something in it. Since then, it hasn’t been appearing. It still wasn’t appearing yesterday. Today, I can see it.
Thanks, Chris and Charlie. By the way, Chris, have you managed to tick off government at a federal level? My donation was finally accepted but I had to jump through some hoops to get it through. My federal bank texted me that I had to confirm by texting back YES that it was indeed me that authorized it. That has never happened before for anything.
War Pig, be glad your bank is watching that closely, to alert to unusual activity. Several times mine has stopped bad actors from getting the money and I had to get a new card. Also, several times they have put a hold on good transactions, but it only took a moment to verify the authorization. A minor inconvenience that I appreciate.
It’s really that banks are tightening all over these days. We’re all actually more mainstream these days than back when!

I remember.
I remember my Dad and Uncles, veterans all, so reluctant to talk, but I got the story through pictures and my Grandmother.
I remember my friends and schoolmates, off to Nam without me, some never to return, and some that did were changed.
I remember so many good men and boys that went willingly into the sandpit that we never should have gone into, but doing what their orders told them to do…
Remembering my father, father-in-law, and uncles of two generations, including a youngest brother my mother raised, killed in Korea before he could be my big brother. Most lie in Fort Sam National Cemetery, where I’ll eventually join them.
And specially this year, forefathers who “fired the shot heard round the world” 250 years ago.
Was at Tan-son-nhut just before the
‘Tet’ offensive, and Bien Hoa.
We were there to help them escape
Communism, didn`t know the Viets
had been fighting off foreign invaders
(like us) for a 1000 years, eventually
they all seemed the same, we took
care of our brothers, and Washington
abandoned the troops.
When you’re remembering the heroes we think about on Memorial Day, send some kind thoughts to the combat casualties who haven’t quite made it to the brown side of the grass yet- – – – – -sometimes it takes decades for those physical, and emotional wounds to claim their prize.
$1,10 was about what I made as a lifeguard and as a JOAT at Friendly’s ’69-’74.

$1.10/jour was minimum wage in the late 60s/early 70s in Ohio.
I had an uncle and 2 great uncles who were WWII vets. One didn’t make it back. Dad was with 101st Airborne in Korea. I fought tet 68 at Hue City in Vietnam. Hotel Co, 2/5 Marines. We took 50% casualties, but we retook Hue. My uncle liberated Buchenwald concentration camp. It haunted him until the day he died. One great Uncle flew Mustangs in Europe. 3 aerial victories. Other great uncle fell at Saipan with the Marines. Dad almost bought the farm in Korea. Silver Star and Purple Heart.
Got family military history documented back to Revolution, including service on both sides of Civil War. Dad, uncles, cousins served in WWII; lost several cousins. Uncles, cousins served in Korea, no losses. Cousins served in Vietnam, no losses. I served 76-96, then Army civilian until 2004, present at Pentagon on 9/11; cousins also served, no losses. Nephew is Blackhawk pilot, Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria so far; his cousins serving, no losses to date.
For as large a family as I have and the wide range of service, we’ve been remarkably lucky on combat losses and Purple Hearts — knock on wood.

Remembering those lost, but not forgotten…
Rally the troops; Let’s GO!

O War Pig;Don’t know why it doesn’t show for you try a refresh maybe? HongkongCharlie below nicely provides a direct link to the Levels.

Rest in peace, brothers in arms!

R.I.P. absent companions, and all.

$1.10 an hour?
Was Sam in college in the 1950’s?
Well, it’s what I earned as a waiter in the 70’s…
