    The guy who slowed the traffic down too much and ruined his business reminds of the quote, "Nothing is more dangerous than an idea when it's the only one you have."

    I missed this post, sorry about your wife
    I'll have to look it up because I don't know, its just what my son told me or maybe he said ' like' the Hall Of Fame but Navy. I just know he liked one more award to receive it. His ship was LPD USS Ponce ,they carried 1800 marines to Iraq.
    Whatever it was he excelled in the service for somebody who only joined to get an education.
    They had mine sweeping dolphins off thje coast of Iraq, one got lost for a while but came back,

    e Navy’s Century Old Hall of Fame: A Survey of the Relics, Records and Work of a Little Known Library Which the Government Established in 1794


    From the Navy Department Library, opposite the White House, to salt water is a distance of twenty-five miles. From the heart of a sailor at sea, whether he be the captain of the Delaware, the greatest battleship afloat, or an enlisted man aboard any smaller ship, the distance to the most interesting library in the United States is but the measure of a thought.

    This is true because sailors of the United States Navy, and of the navies of many foreign countries, know that the navy library, established in 1794, contains the best records in the United States of the achievements of the man-o’war’s man from the old days of romance are chronicled.

    The fact that he was considered for the Navy Hall of Fame must make you very proud. It's great when our kids turn out well.

    Very impressive. Sounds like there was some serious danger there. He did well.

    I wonder if we should keep up an introduction spot so new people know where to go to introduce themselves.
