There are a Couple of Military Questions I would like to ask about the cost
of the event....
They Talk about Charging us because the Military has to work overtime to be
there.... Last time I checked NONE of our MONEY is going to the Soldier...
He can't Take it... unless he is out of uniform.... and they weren't as I
recall.... So that excuse doesn't work.... the Folks there are trying to get
Money out of us for some kind of Moral and welfare fund they have set up....
and I have seen those do some wonderful things over the years but I have
also seen them abused.... Personally I think the Military is abusing us in
this case.... and Would love the opportunity to talk to the guy who we are
talking to about the Money side of this issue....
