should have attended Vets Day The paper carried a nice front page about the Veterans Day observance, where, when, time. And all the good citizens had to do was to show up and pay their respects to those vets that were present, and to those vets that were unable since they had given their all or were confined to a wheelchair or hospital bed. Sad to say, about 30 residents were present. Then again we have a president that didn't show up for his event, so why should this generation show up for such a minor event as a memorial service? It is the same ones that don't show up at the polls, the same ones that are so busy in their little private world they are time locked with shopping, golfing, cards, etc., etc. It was their fathers, grandfathers and mothers that gave of their time and talent so they are having the ball they think they deserve.
