WHAT IS A VETERAN ?

DEFINITION OF A VETERAN

A veteran - whether active duty, retired, national guard,

or reserve - is someone who, at one point in his or her life, wrote

a blank check made payable to The 'United States of America',

for an amount of 'up to and including my life.'


That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this

country who no longer understand it.

All so true.... How at times this is forgotten by the citizens of The Untied States untill the shit hits the fan. It is an HONOR to serve one's country in it's time of need,and when that time is over, then it's citizens should REMEMBER their service to them.

As a USCG vet I want to mention Mark Morgan's recent SOS Hoax attempt. He was reported the the Houghton Cty Sheriff, but he should have also been reported to the USCG tipline. The USCG is a Maritime law enforcement agency with arrest power domestically and internationally. We're also a division of Homeland Security will full investigatory and arrest powers concerning false distress signals. Our authority supercedes the FCC and we investigate distress calls on ALL frequencies.


Karol Madera sends a false distress signal sequence every time he's on 20 meters.

Todd Daugherty also threatened to send false distress signals.

These clown need to be shut down permanently!

Hey Hank,

You want to take a swing first, or shall I?
