Hey Bob... I didn't see the thread but I'll check it out. Memorial Day is tough on some of us. My father was a veteran and just recently passed away. He flew F-4's in Vietnam - 270 mission, 18 months, 16 air medals, 3 distinguished flying crosses for close air support, mostly around Hanoi. When I ride my cruiser, I wear a jacket with patches honoring my father's service and all of the other veterans, former POWs and MIA's - I wear it all year long. And, we survived Camille (Hurricane) during that time, too. Sometimes, life stinks...
But, don't get too down. I rarely post anywhere but the folks on this site are amazingly friendly and helpful. Take the family or a friend fishing. It helps me remember what Memorial Day is all about and why we make the sacrifices we do. It's all about the freedoms we enjoy. And, you can bet that tens of thousands of Texans and Okies (and others) have donated money, time and prayers for the victims of the tornadoes whether they post about it or not.
Give 'em a chance, buddy! You might be surprised how many really good people there are on the Forum and, for that matter, all around you.
