Happy 236th Birthday Marines

Thursday, November 10 2011 -

I’m reading My War by Andy Rooney. I bet I haven’t watched 60 minutes in 15 years, but reading this book I can hear his voice and that same no nonsense character. He was as brash and stubborn as a young kid as he portrayed himself on 60 minutes.

Andy had no shortage of opinions on Patton, Hemingway, Ernie Pyle, and a great many other “famous” people that he met and or served with during the War. The book is a pleasure to read as it is laced with his wit and wisdom.

This book will remind you why we have a Veteran’s Day and what there is to be proud of, whether you are a Marine, a Soldier, a Flyboy or anyone else who served in the military.
