    Veterans Week Nov. 5 - 11, 2006

    It's time for us all to wear our poppies in remembrance of our veterans.
    Feel free to copy mine.
    I thought you all may be interested in this story from Nova Scotia. It's true and the story is on the page I created.


    Terry Kelly is an ordinary guy. But the challenges presented to him and the path of life he has chosen are by no means ordinary.
    When Terry was seven years old, his parents made the emotionally difficult decision to send him from his home in St. John’s, Newfoundland to the Halifax School For The Blind. It was not easy for either Terry or his parents, but the difficulties initiated Terry’s quest for challenge, developed his love of life and nurtured his musical talent. Terry learned to play the accordion, clarinet, guitar and piano; was a founding member of a very successful high school band, The Stringbusters; and was an active student. Terry joined everything going; Boy Scouts, hockey, track and field, karate and the student council. Always busy, he worked his way through Saint Mary’s University performing in clubs and bars with the popular rock group Janus, while studying for a degree in psychology.

    Here is his remarkable song dedicated to the Veterans.

    Windows media player .... I could not find a direct link to his song in full, so made this page to share.

        Wow...how powerful that is! Thank you ladyeye. Would you mind if I use your link to send out an email to all my friends and family to view this video and take 2 min. on Friday at 11 for silence? I could link to Terry's site, but you have done such a wonderful job on this page, can you keep it online for a few weeks?

            Certainly Cindy ... I wouldn't mind at all ... I may even add to it, as I had a very tasteful veterans page last year on my site, "Year of the Veteran 2005" ... so I would be honored for you to do that ....


            I am sure we will see the entire board lit with poppys by Nov. 11th ....

                There are a few of us floating quietly around VodaLand, and I am one to feel honored by LadyEye's demonstration of Patriotic graciousness....

                    Let's just say that I was one of Oliver North's snipers playing games with the Sandinistas when nobody knew we were even there....And no, although I had rank, I was not one to go career (I did my job really well, I learned what I needed to learn about myself, and then it was time to move on).

                    Funny, I thought it was a holiday wreath....most poppies are yellow, aren't they? I will stick with quietly observing and honoring the traditions.

                      Sniper.... cool .... so you have a keen eye and plenty patience

                      Sorry, no the image is a poppy, hmmm..... maybe a different one is needed to portray the image better.... they are worn on the lapel on Nov. 11th and the days preceding, they sell everywhere here and the price is a donation, normally by Legions, Red Cross.

                      The golden poppy the state flower of california

                      The poppy of wartime remembrance is the red corn poppy

                        Live and learn. (I knew about the state flower)

                        Keen eye, Lady Eye? Yes....for many things.
                        Patience? I dunno.....gave up teaching Elementary Autistic kids because I had no patience for the parents' BS.
                        Enjoy an oversized office and spacious living because I have no patience for BS.
                        Have fewer good friends nowadays because I have no patience with BS.
                        (Kind of makes you wonder if "BS" means "Besides Self" doesn't it? LOL)

                        The last time I had real patients was when instead of playing doctor as a kid I ran the neighborhood clinic! LOLOLOL

                            Been holding off on the yacht....don't I need a first mate???

                            I do however, have my EYE on a 110' Lazzara yacht (am friends with the Lazzara brothers out of Tampa), but I am waiting for the time not only to afford to buy it for cash, but maintain the crew and maintenence as well -- $3.5M + about $200K/yr. I keep hearing my mind say "Dream On, Big Boy! Dream On...."

                              Perhaps if you thought a little smaller, your dream may emerge quicker ...
