    Jimmy I know you are a proud daddy to see your son doing all these things instead of running around with a clickish crowd of boys. This says a lot about our sport of fishing and hunting. I to have a son that I got custody of at the age of 8. He started helping me landscape when he was 12 years old, He carried a weedeater around for a whole year before he got on one of my zero turn mowers. When he graduated from high school he started college and told me in his second semester he hated it and wanted to work for me. At the age of 18 he was running 3 crews which had 4 men per crew. He never laid out of work sick and was always eager to learn how the business worked inside and out. My business was million dollar a year business and we were working 10 to 12 hr days before the economy went down but he never complained about how long we worked each day. I could not have done this with out him and that is the truth. I to am very proud of my son also. Duck hunting was his thing also,I guide in the winter on the currituck sound and many a day he egged to go with me just to be in the blind was exciting for him. Congrats on such a Fine young man,God is truly good.

    Blessings

    The few will make the news, the many will go un-noticed. MY kids are grown but through work, I see many young people who give their all to do a good job.

    We have 2 boys. My wife and I have been raising our kids to be selfless and dignified. At their young age they have already worked for Americans and their country in many ways, and continue to. I impress the importance of college with the option of military, or both. But self-absorbed slackers and protesters is something they are not allowed to be.

    As a retired teacher, I can definitely say that most kids are good citizens. However, turds do fall from the roost in certain houses.

    Occupy the Home Front: Why Veterans Are Deploying With the 99 Percent | The Nation


    Unfortunately, World War I was not the “war to end all wars.” American soldiers continue to be thrust into unnecessary conflicts, fighting and dying in recent years in the undeclared wars of Iraq and Afghanistan.

    The United States has not learned much about avoiding unwarranted wars.

    And if has not learned much about respecting the veterans of wars.

    Just as in the aftermath of World War I veterans were abused when they made reasonable demands for economic justice at home, so veterans are today abused when they make the same sort of demands.

    After World War I, veterans seeking bonuses they had been promised were shot in the streets of Washington.
