The world’s greatest Rough Collie lives at our house and his name is Captain. The Blonde walks Captain almost every day, and she has a little circle she makes around the local elementary school and the high school before she heads back to the surf shack.
Last week, as we finished the final Budget Town Hall meeting, as has happened several times in the last few weeks an attendee approached me to ask me what I thought of Governor Tim Walz’s claims surrounding his service in combat and his leaving his troops? My reaction to these sorts of questions has always been one of disappointment mixed with angst. Disappointment with individuals who claimed deeds, ranks, and/ or acts they never attainted while in the service; and angst as it bears a sad reflection on the many fine service members out there who have given so much to serve our great country. While I cannot speak for other veterans, I would imagine that my feelings are not too dissimilar from those of many others who served.
