Happy National………Day

[Glenn MacGrady]

Thought I would salute Robin today, and any other Veterans here that gave a few years of their time willingly or not.
Without Robin’s deft leadership a few years ago, a bunch of us would not be enjoying our daily (weekly ?) dose of canoetripping.net.

Yes, today is National Vietnam War Veterans Day as well as International Mermaid Day. Since the former may be more important to some members here, I've just changed the daily Happy Day notice to the former from the latter. (I usually rotate them in alternate years.)

Thanks Glenn, I appreciate your mentioning that today is Vietnam War Veterans Day. Coming home was an awkward time for many veterans, myself included. This recognition is most appreciated.

How did I (almost) miss "National Disobedience Day"? According to most, I've been pepping for that one my whole life!

Just putting this one on the radar for next year. Don't have any chickens but I'm sure I can find some.

Glenn,

This morning, the heading was “Happy National Stan The Man Musial’s Birthday.” I didn’t know that. At the bakery this morning, in walked an elderly man I had never seen before, wearing a St. Louis Cardinals baseball cap. We’re a long way from St. Louis, baseball fans, and guys wearing ball caps. I rose, and strode nearly six feet (2 m) to his table. “ Are you really a St. Louis Cardinals fan?”

“Yes I am.”

“Did you know it was Stan Musial’s birthday today?”

“Yeah, I did. Best Cardinal of all time.”

Can’t make this stuff up. Well, I probably could. But I didn’t.

Has anyone else experienced a somewhat unlikely relationship between Glenn’s posted National Day, and your actual day itself?
