Title: Post here instead of in a memorial thread
Post by: Tom5572 on January 29, 2012, 01:46:59 AM: I would ask for people to post here instead of in Uptown's thread. I am sure this thread will get locked due to the political nature of the ensuing discussions and I might get PNGed for setting it up. The death of a military member is something which hits home, I have been to too many Role Call ceremonies. So, without further adieu, please discuss your feelings about the war here instead of in a thread meant to memorialize a fallen comrade.

Post by: Tom5572 on January 29, 2012, 02:00:42 AM: My excuse is nothing more, and nothing less, providing a separate place to vent.

Post by: coombz on January 29, 2012, 02:02:38 AM: I just noticed 'without further adieu' :rofl

anyway non-AH related venting should live in the O'Club forum amigo

Post by: Tom5572 on January 29, 2012, 02:13:10 AM: It kids of defeats the purpose as I was trying to provide a place otger than Uptowns thread for people to vent. Like I said, this will probably get locked and I might get punished by the mods.

Post by: Tom5572 on January 29, 2012, 02:37:30 AM: Thanks for the correction. I will make sure I do not make that mistake again.

Aww, I was already responding to that. Glad I went down the page a little further before I posted.

I can see the problem, "without further ado" "Farewell and adieu".

You ladies of Spain.

God help me. Now I am having an internal debate about cent. Is the plural form of cent, cent or cents. I think its just cent everyone says cents because its natural but just because its natural doesn't mean its correct. Or maybe it is cents?
Title: Re: Post here instead of in a memorial thread
Post by: coombz on January 29, 2012, 03:12:21 AM: I'd go with cents

like, you might have a 10 cent coin

or maybe you've got 50 cents in change

:old:

but in the UK, pence is always pence :D

Post by: uptown on January 29, 2012, 01:19:50 PM: I didn't have a chance to thank everyone for all the kind words in the other thread before it got locked, so i will thank you all here...

THANK YOU all very much. :salute

The funeral is in a couple of hours at the high school, and so far no protesters in sight. Let's hope it stays that way :pray

They moved Travis from the funeral home to the school at noon today and while that was happening I had a chance to speak to a highway patrolman about the protest issue. He told me that the protesters....if they show up will be confined to an area near the funeral home well away from family members and the funeral itself.

The only opinion I have on war is that to me it seems like the only folks in favor of it are the ones that have never had to deal with it first hand. War may be a fact of life and a necessary evil but that doesn't make it right.

All I know is I swell up with pride at the sight of 2020 American flags lining the motorcade route as well as damned near everyone in this town lining the route, standing @ attention and saluting in honor of Travis' service to our country. If that don't bring a tear to your eye, I don't know what would.

Travis fought and died for the right for ALL people to be able to speak freely. What I find ironic is the fact that he would probably look at the protesters ...flip them the bird and go off to fight for their rights of free expression. Go figure. Crazy world we live in huh? :salute

Post by: Rich52 on January 29, 2012, 03:39:40 PM: I couldnt think of a more just war in History then the War on Terrorism. A War, BTW, weve been fighting for over 40 years.

This man died a Hero in every sense of the word. :salute
