Country, Small Town America
Where else but sw Va ???? The County Sheriff stopped at the house, during the covid 19 height, to meet our aunt (a WWII Vet) on her 99th birthday, . For her 100th birthday, he came by with a parade of fire trucks, ambulances, emergency response vehicles & the TV news. It was her last really great day. On her death, he attended her memorial repast tonight at a local restaurant with his secretary & their spouses. God Bless America !

Amen, brother. The coastal "elite" scoff at us as ignorant rubes, but they will never witness, or appreciate, something as meaningful as that.
God bless you and your Auntie.

I ran into an old timer wearing a Navy cap in a local store and struck up a conversation with him.We was a WW2 vet and did 30 years.He went in as a E-1 and retired an O-4.He told me he landed on Tarawa with the SeaBees and Marines.I was honored to have the opportunity to listen to a real American hero,even though he never thought of himself as anything but a regular old guy.

When seeing the news about your governor, it's nice to see that there are some G-men who truly care about the communities they serve.

The soon to be past Va Governor & his crony's refused to give law enforcement raises one year because 98% supported 2A rights.
