Veterans Day and Basketball Begins
Two things we covered this weekend, the opening of Corydon's girls basketball season and Veterans Day ceremonies. The Lady Panthers didn't disappoint. After a slow start against Perry County, they turned on a full court press and thumped the Lady Commodores, 60-33. A pretty good group of Corydon fans made the trip to cheer their team on.
Veterans Day was disappointing. I searched all week in the local papers for information about Veterans Day ceremonies, and found nothing. Both the papers had special tributes to veterans, but no indication about what was happening on Veterans Day. The VFW, though, had been advertising a chicken dinner that day, so that was at least happening. On Saturday, I headed downtown about 10:30, cruised around the square, saw nothing that resembled a possible ceremony getting ready to happen and went back to the VFW.
All the participants were inside, having decided to stay where it was warm and dry. At 11:00 am, the appointed hour, the VFW folks presented a short program to a small crowd of less than 50 people. Neither paper covered the event.
It is sad, really, that we are at war and our tribute to veterans was so small and sparsely attended.

Veterans are use to not being well represented. The war we are involved in now is is not going so well, therefore it's another case of if we don't think about it, it might go away. Soon Saddam will be stretched but things will not change as Saddam is old news. Bush still his own rhetoric and his cronies are leaving the ship. We the people as always will be LEFT holding the proverbial BAG.
Hug a VET, tell he or she that they matter.
