[Ansteorra] The Shore of Middleford (was Too many events?)

[HL Darcy]

I said "we".  I didn't say "you all".

I only remember two bad times for Middleford, however I can't recall the
years.  And even those are in a more mellow light.  I don't tend to remember
the bad stuff, but I do tend to remember the good things.

While I'm sure we talked because you say we did, I don't have a clue what
was said about what.  Guess I flunked that history course.

If the 7 years is what I think it was, it's a bit different subject.  But
still a event related thing.  And if so, I don't have a problem with it and
haven't for some time.

Well, I suppose it's just my nature to be "griping about something".

Not for sure, but I'll bet that if we went backed and looked we'd find that
more awards have gone to Middleford folks than just about any where else in
the Kingdom.  Why?  Lots of events and a rotating population.  We try to
make sure our military folks get the awards they deserve.  So many come to
us and have been falling through one crack after another with their military
travels.
