Thank God Bone Spurs proposal to renaming Veterans Day “Victory Day for World War I" was met with so much opposition from Active-Duty military personnel, veterans, veteran's groups, and widows of veterans, that he closed his trap and hasn't mentioned it again.

11-11-71 to 11-11-75. 50th anniversary of stowing the bell bottoms. I went to work in aerospace afterwards.

I had an easier time than others, and I salute their bravery.
