[Ansteorra] RE: Vets and teachers

[Tump Laird]

Being retired from the military, and a certified teacher (I don't teach
right now because I don't want to take the pay cut) They have much in
common, lousy pay, poor working conditions, and under appreciated by many.
I was in a Marine Corps band when the hostages came home from Iran.  We
toured the country with them, playing parades to cheering people.  30 of the
40 piece band spent at least one tour in Vietnam.  They did not get a parade
when they came home. I did not spend 21 year in the service for money,
admiration, or a holiday.  I did it because I love my freedom, and I want my
family to be free.  If some people around me do not respect or appreciate
that, I won't loose any sleep, because I and my family have their freedom,
and that is worth far more than a holiday or a parade.

I'm beginning to get reminded of the chicken or the egg argument...  which
came first. :)

*ducks and runs*



My opinion, they're both pretty darn important, and we need to treat both
with extreme respect.

:Caladin is right on both accounts. My first thought when I read the
