A shout-out to DUer Monkeyman |
|
I'm not a fan of these praise threads, but Monkeyman should know that I'm proud and grateful to have him here . . . and there for our soldiers and vets.
Here's to ya, Monkeyman. Keep it up. We're with you . . . and with your fellow servicefolks . . . as much as a group of keyboard peckers can possibly be.

With all the atrocities happening around us, we can only be in so many places at one time.
Thank you! Monkeyman for the place you choose to defend. I'd salute you but I'm a civilian so instead I'll say:

Not all of us are near enough to be able to help our soldiers so when someone like Monkeyman comes along we are all blessed. Thank you for being who you are.

You are honored and appreciated, along with your service and sacrifice to our country. That simple fact, then and there, means you stand taller and rank higher than any of the teeny little poisonous, greedy, arrogant, deceitful cowards holding our highest offices (hostage).
Monkeyman, you're the best. bigtree, you, too! All you guys - saigon68, BOSSHOG, and forgive me for not having everyone else's name on the tip of my tongue as I should when this type of tribute is given.

44. I know first hand of his Midwest Vets Homeless Shelter here in Wheaton IL |
|
I can attest to his devotion, hard work, and quality.
I get tears in my eyes when I drive past that beautiful home each week. I wish you all could see it. Some of my husband's clothes have ended up in the box behind that gorgeous Victorian home. I hope someday I can have the privilege of meeting Monkeyman in person - someone who shares my town and perhaps someday I can call my friend.

46. Can you tell us more about his participation in setting up, supporting the shelter? Since you're a |
|
local, perhaps you can tell us more.
Our so-called "safety net" is full of holes.
