This comes too late for this year, but a heads-up to you veterans for next year: the Veterans’ Pride Initiative is encouraging you to wear your medals on your civilian shirt or coat on Veterans’, Independence & Memorial Days. They suggest three options: miniature medals, large medals or large medals with devices & unit awards. Hopefully such action will help instill a certain sense of national pride in and awareness of our armed forces.

The guys at the Coalition to prevent Assault Weapon Violence are keeping a close eye on assault weapons—-they’ve set up a web cam to catch an assault rifle in the act of committing crimes. None so far, but they’re still watching.
