So with that in mind, I guess I should tell you that I am a standing member in the Patriot Gaurd Riders.

I have been to 17 NH servicemen funerals. I take vacation days off from work to go. Those are days I don't get to go to Florida and play at Disney World. How many has everyone else on here been to? I went to one down in Boscawen, where there were maybe 20 people. 10 of them were Patriot Guard members. Where were all the caring people in this Country that day? Anyway..I had never met one of them while they were alive. However I cried at every one of those services. I would never even begin to associate a funeral of any human being to that of a simple animal burial. I also never thought I would have to explain that to anyone. I also get irritated when we hear about the Lindsey Lohan's more than the people serving for this country. (Just like in the thread in the General Discussion Forum.)
I myself like Foxes. I myself feel bad when I have to bury one. So I posted... |
