    Then come to the next PCGS show in Vegas and meet me. I'm 68 and certainly no threat to you.

    Again you speak with out knowledge, are you seeking medical help for your paranoid delusions. As for being cop like please provide an example where I am investigating you for committing a crime or pulling you over for a tragic violation. No need to be scared I have met Rick Snow, check with him I am sure he will say I am not scarey at all and that I am a very nice and pleasant guy. As for you fearing me that is funny as you have never met me so have no idea about me in person at all, I am a fun loving easy going guy especially after having open heart surgery at age 42. Hell I am disabled and you know that and a disabled happy easy going guy scares you, that is just straight up silly. I do understand that trolls live under bridges or in caves what is your preference? I do enjoy your irrational retorts as they are fun and you bite the hook so hard I am afraid it will break. Heck even my 4 boys friends say they wish I was their dad because I am cool, and me and my boys do what we can to have fun every day. Some of that is based off knowing I will most likely be dead by 60 so bide your time and you can come out of hiding then lol....

    Don't worry about that happening. Your immature responses suggest you will never grow up.

    Wrong again. Never claimed to be a hero and never will, only stated that I was proud to have served my country. I'm afraid, though, you will "never" grow up.

    "I have been forced to go to Veteran's cemeteries on field trips when I was forced to go to Catholic school. I found both experiences unpleasant. Do you want me to be forced to do other things I don't want to do?"





    I guess I was just hoping for a reality check for you. It is amazing that you use the word "unpleasant" when you consider that this a day we honor our fallen heroes. And yes, I consider them all heroes. They have done much more than hide behind a keyboard acting like a real man, who finds reality to be "unpleasant." Forced to go to Veteran's cemeteries and forced to go to Catholic schools? Oh my, poor you, sounds like you had one difficult life! Now compare your "difficulties" to those our men and women in uniform have endured, and will do so for the rest of their lives...................

    Enough said. Over and out!

    Some people like coinrollhunterinhiding are a waste of the air the rest of us have to breath. This is why they hid in their cave cowering in fear for if they went outside and saw a fluffy baby bunny they would run screaming in fear back to their cave.

    mainer020648 Thank you for what you have done for my family we all appreciate it very much as we enjoy being able to do the things we do daily when we want.

    Veterans get amazing retirement benefits, better healthcare than the rest of us (or do they-with this VA scandal...),
    and they get their education paid for by taxpayers. Along with their salary, and every other benefit.


    As if they don't deserve it.......you are very disrespectful and arrogant.

    << <i>Holidays invented to honor the military are unnecessary. People drool over veterans enough. They get discounts wherever they go. I get it. They have a tough job. But they are volunteers. They signed up for this. Days like this and mother's day/father's day are days invented to honor people who are already supposed to be honored/respected in the first place. It is redundant. There is already veteran's day. The military gets 2 national holidays? Let's talk about defense spending. Why are we in such a massive deficit right now? Defense spending. Putting wars on credit cards. Buying weapons we don't need. The military is fed and fat and gets every privilege it wants. Enough of the gung ho business. >>



    This is a day to remember those who gave their lives serving this country. They don't get to enjoy "discounts" or to celebrate any other holiday you seem to loathe so much. You have some nerve posting crap like this. image you.

    Just talked to my pops and he is having a great day. He heard from some guys that he thought died in Vietnam, amazing that they found him. One of the guys was a child hood friend he thought was gone because he could not find any info after he saw the guy shot in the field, that is so cool he was able to connect with this guy.

    If this gets me bammed, so be it, but you are an idiot.

    Try "Gung Ho" on this, pal. My Dad was killed at Monte Cassino and I never met him. When I, 40 years later, first saw pictures of him and my Mom together I couldn't believe what I saw.

    A light in her eyes.... She lost that joy. And she, you should pardon the expression, soldiered on.

    Now multiply her by millions of husbands, wives, parents, sons and daughters who privately seethe when they hear "Happy Memorial Day" as code for a "good time for grease and beer". "Happy"?

    Are you feeling me?????? Are you feeling anything????

    Are you feeling me scraping you off my shoe? >>

    sad, so sad.

    To the troll, please go to the library.

    They have these amazing things, they call them books.

    Read some, then come back here.

    Read about all of the benefits and parades that the Vietnam Vets received.

    "nothing".

    And they never volunteered.

    They simply served.

    To our vets: I salute you.

    This holiday should transcend even the most cynical among us .. regardless of your political leanings or views on war (and trust me, I'm one cynical mo-fo).

    I pity trolls.

    Keyboard warriors who have all the guts in the world when they're on a chat forum denigrating those who have honorably served their country but wouldn't dare say a damned thing to any of them in person.

    It must make them feel better about themselves and the fact that they aspire to nothing greater than slinging burgers, playing Call Of Duty on the Xbox Mommy bought them and whining about things that other people have earned through blood and sacrifice.

    All the while, knowing that these cowardly, juvenile attacks will not change the fact that in the grand scheme of things, they just don't count.

    How very sad, indeed.

    RIP Mom- 1932-2012
