Uncle Bubba watched one of those self-serving news story about the Vermont marble used to make the headstones of our fallen service men and women. In the sadness that we have to have such an item, it was Bubbie's view that at least we are honoring them with our own materials, mined from our own country, carved, shaped and finished by our own citizens. This was not the intension of the news story line, but in this day and age any glimmer of our former America is worth pointing out. Within the camera shots presented in the news piece it appeared that no illegal aliens were employed in the work environment and no foreign countries are profiting from the death of our heros, at least not in this small capacity. A rarity today y'all; Vermonters, Uncle Bubba salutes you!
It has been reported that 6000 Americans have been killed in Iraq and Afghanistan. And after 10 years can anyone say who we are fighting with over there? Uncle Bubba attempted a Google search to find out how many troops we have still fighting in the Middle East and it turned out to be futile. He told me that he typed in "How many American troops are fighting in the Middle East?" and couldn't find a definitive answer. Why?
Uncle Bubba thanks the American Troops and their families for their service to our country. God bless you all.
