good talk

   They're saying, these foreigners are bigots, because there's been no rush to see "The Little Mermaid", I found it boring. I met a "Medal of Honor" recipient, at the VA in SD, a first for me. In the first part, of this Country, our military, had no medals, as it was regarded as European, the "Medal of Honor", began during the Civil War, as a nothing Medal, an entire Federal Regiment, receiving them for not leaving, after their enlistment was up. Only about 2 thou have been given, in WW 1, WW 11, Korea, and Vietnam, those citing someone, had one year, to finish their case. Ha, over the past 20 years, there's been people campaigning for them, to be given, for long-ago events, say, a long-dead Jew got one, for something he did in WW 1, a hundred years later, really cheapening this award for Valor. Don't touch me. John was an Army Draftee, and in 1970, in Vietnam, he threw his helmet on a grenade, then covered-it with his body, it took-out his stomach, and some other innards. A kindly do-gooder, probably always.  Could I shake your hand?
