Thanks for being here and for just being you - please post as long as you like: One thing please keep in mind - this is a Vets place, all vets have families, most of us by now have Gkids and many have GGkids.. We are proud of those youngsters, the future of the ole USofA. With that in mind, please be mindful of decency - meaning those kids are mostly Computer literate, can and do log on and read - so kindly keep that in mind, one valued member I know of for sure has an Angel of a Grand-daughter that is very intelligent, can and does log on and read.
