Rocket Man Blog sent me an email about his dad, a retired Marine Corps Gunnery Sergeant who served in WWII, Korea, and then Vietnam. RM wondered if it was too late to make it into my Remembrance Day / Veteran's Day post, and it was - but how could I resist a story that included this passage:
bq. "...So on Hitler's last birthday in this world, my father helped destroy his birthday cake and used his billy club to subdue some of his most fanatical supporters."
If you want to get the full story on that one, you're just going to have to go read Rocket Man's post. And wish Rocket Man Sr. a belated Happy Birthday.

Here are some quick tips for adding simple Textile formatting to your comments, though you can also use proper HTML tags:
*This* puts text in bold.
_This_ puts text in italics.
bq. This "bq." at the beginning of a paragraph, flush with the left hand side and with a space after it, is the code to indent one paragraph of text as a block quote.
To add a live URL, "Text to display":http://windsofchange.net/ (no spaces between) will show up as Text to display. Always use this for links - otherwise you will screw up the columns on our main blog page.
