Not to "fundamentally change" it into a socialist nightmare.

My father served in the US Coast Guard and was stationed in the Aleutian Islands. He was on isolated duty and didn't mind it too much.
God bless you all!!! and Happy Vets DAY! I ALWAYS remember our beloved troops and our blogger soldiers in the trenches too my friend~!:
Nick said they got shelled and strafed regularly.
If your dad is alive, thank him for me.
Thanks for that history (and your service) Ed!
I salute you ALL!
I had a grandpa that served in the Navy during WWII. Hunting U-boats in the Atlantic. Once told me he experienced the whine of a torpedo that passed right under his ship.
Wow. Like a bullet whizzing past your head.
