In fact, our monthly trade deficit figure is so huge it equals the entire annual budget of our Department of Veterans Affairs. Veterans fought to make us free from foreign tyranny, but the new tyranny is taking a different form. ↗

There's an air of mystery around the Masons, but the reality is that they're mostly a bunch of veterans getting drunk in a lodge that they've built to look like a temple. It's just a bunch of guys trying to get away from their wives. ↗

Some of the money going to the rookies can now be spent on people who have proved their worth. After all, the average playing life of a pro football player is about eight years and it is only fitting that the veterans get something for their efforts. ↗

Logan was talking about the Civil War, which claimed the lives of more than 500,000 Americans. He wanted to provide Civil War veterans with a day to pay respects to their fellow soldiers who did not live to see the end of the war, without losing a day's pay. ↗

Cops are like a box of chocolates, you never know what you will get. 1) You may get the young rookie that thinks the more tickets/arrests they make will change the world 2) The seasoned level headed veteran that knows everyone makes mistakes 3) Somewhere in between the two A good policeman needs to be a jack of all trades. Being a patrolman is mostly on the job site and life experiences, you need lots of common since and a little book smarts. ↗

Having been to war myself, I do not understand why so many people are so in love with it. ↗

One of the good things about the way the Gulf War ended in 1991 is, you'd see the Vietnam veterans marching with the Gulf War veterans. ↗
