QUOTE A DAY - Aug. 14, 2012
Greetings fellow quote lovers:Always get a bot misty eyed when my son or sons goes back to school. Today my youngest is back to school.
Friends, I want to direct you to a DVD that my dear friend Denis Mueller, an award winning filmmaker made. Back in the 60s and 70s, our veterans came home and were spat on by antiwar protesters.
