SIXTH MONTH-SUMMER IS COMING

 

PRIDE MONTH IS COMING

June is pride month. I will be going to a few events this year. I'm working during what my feelings will be this year. There's so much happening around the country regarding the welfare or trans folks.

BEING REAL

 

MEMORIAL DAY TREK

 

I visited the Vietnam Veteran's Memorial on Memorial Day. It is a trek that make annually. I was in the army (1971-74) during the Vietnam conflict.

 I read some of the comments on the wall. Sitting near the fountain, the old conflicted feelings came up. I never served in Vietnam. The people on the wall were my contemporaries. I almost came to tears.

I am proud of the men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice. The conflicted feelings I experience will always be 5here, I suppose. No matter, I will keep coming here thanking them in my own way. I was a soldier once. Guess I will always be.

HONOR THEM

I come here a few times in the summer. This is one of few places I can completely be myself.
