They some how got into a three lettered agency, claiming “cleared people” who didn’t speak english, annnnnd were stealing money, haha. The food sucked. Good soup though 
The lobster bisque I couldn’t degrade, but, I was also about 86 lbs and a cardboard cut out of my dog would have been a treat.

@Breelie and @Syn I’m not 100% I’ve ever thanked someone for their service… It feels weird to thank someone for giving up most of themselves for something I don’t quite understand.
I’ve got a few family members in the military, uncle was marines and tried scaring me straight when I was younger, wouldn’t talk about any of it unless he was trying to make a point, hell my own father who supposedly ran top secret communications that has more loyalty to these folks than his own flesh and blood cause to this day won’t tell me about any of it and made me wonder just how strong they brainwash souls, then went through the phase of thinking all military are just blood thirsty war mongers and only want a legal means to kill.
Now, at 30, with what I know about reality, the reality of war and those fighting it, their lives before, during, and after service, I’d say;
“Thank you for sacrificing your mind, body, and soul to protect our (MY) freedoms”.
Feel like that covers more bases than “thanks for your service”. Shit 
is mine even weirder though?
Sorry for ranting, I don’t get to get my civilian point of view across very often.

If i were yall id get on dc seeds exchange site and ask about the seedbank for vets. They will send free gear and you get 15%off when i was providing care for my dad dcse helped me a ton. As a caregiver. They will always be my go to seedbank
Yes! For those veterans that cannot otherwise afford genetics, we do have a limited supply of genetics donated by top breeders from around the country. All we ask is for you to send us an email explaining your situation and why you need seeds. Please note priority is given to veterans, persons with disabilities, and care providers

I saw a show where they thanked an older veteran and he said “And I thank you for thanking me”. My ex started saying that after we heard it.

Well said… Anti-politician usually means anti-government for most because they don’t seperate them or take the time to realize, it not the form of government we have, its the greedy fat cats in power who call the shots from behind a safe desk while putting our men and women behind the shit…
Worked for politicians for 10 years… Most disgusting profession imho… You don’t get past the level of local town council unless you start owing favors to cronies… Really sad to see everything come with a string attached…

Have you ever had to hire a lawyer?

LOL, even something simple like purchasing a house they can f’ up,.,. “Find and Replace” doesn’t always work 100%, and I bought my last house evidently from 2 different couples, one that lived there, and one that purchased a different house, using the lawyer (see why "Find and Replace is a bad idea for 100 pg contracts now?)
Oh, and the politicians I worked for? Law firm. 42 of those children I had to babysit, and I felt like a toddlers father chasing them to hand in their time sheets and expenses… Don’t get me started on the money vampires… Greedy selfish little F@#$s

GET the title insurance…
GET the home inspection…
READ your contract, cover to cover, before signing day…
10 years in a law firm, purchasing a home shouldnt be that hard, but man, those 3 things created SO many problems for those who didn’t do their homework…
and sorry for the tangent… back to the OG Vet giveaway… Still a bit green here to run one, but I totally love the idea…

He gave them to me for my pain issues, hopefully they’ll help another vet out.

Got to say, this is one helluva idea! I love it… Vietnam mid-late 60s. Two tours, not drafted but rather signed up for that shitshow! And then doubled up! Hey, I was young n dumb, rah rah rah for the ‘Red, White & Blue’!
I just want to say that I love my country still very much to this day, but fear the ‘F’ outta my gov!
I don’t need or want any seeds though, since I already have plenty. I gave @DougDawson a bunch of seeds, and he’ll be passing them out here. So GrowOn!
