Reply #23: IN A SOMEWHAT RELATED SITUATION [View All]

[BOSSHOG]

I retired from the world's greatest Navy in 2002. I had a bonafide U. S. Navy retirement ceremony with all the relative pomp and circumstance. A letter from the commander in chief is available upon request. I asked my Sailors to contact President Clinton's Office in New York and get a Letter of Congratulations from him. It felt great having his name read at my retirement ceremony. Nowhere near a CMH, but if I were in a position to receive it, I would request someone else make the presentation or I would deny it (with all the relative pomp and circumstance.) bush is scum of the universe to me in so many ways. I have two things in my wallet I'll use at the drop of an ignorant (in other words, conservative) comment, my ACLU membership card and my military retiree ID Card. I don't leave home without them.
