Very well said Bill.. I would love to be considered an old fart! I don't know why men don't stand at the ball games and/or take off their hats when they play OUR National Anthem!
It's mind boggling to me when we have our yearly 4th of July parade that nobody even stands when the Flag goes past. I shouldn't say "nobody" because ALL of the "old farts" are standing with their hands over their hearts..
I was taught to believe in and behave the same way as Bill in VA. I'm happy that I'm an old fart even though I do cry at the behavior of the generations we left behind.
Thanks Bill, that was great and very well said.. I certainly hope to see you again sometime soon.
Uncle Billy
