There have been times in our nation’s history when this was not the case as a general rule. It is a good environment to be a veteran nowadays. On Memorial Day weekend, everyone […]

Resolutions and Such
Our society uses words very flippantly. I am guilty of it. Shoot, look at the way I write…I write like I talk. I have heard the term ‘awesome’ used to describe the taste of an orange skittle.
