Friends | Retired farmhand/ranch hand/ factory laborer. U.S. Army veteran Owen49: Sunday Service 5 days ago • Report • Link ![]() ![]() 0 Owen49: I will NOT be celebrating the 4th of July. They have July 4th in Communist China, Venezuela, Cuba and Iran. Even North Korea has July 4th. I will be acknowledging our Independence Day. There will be parades, barbeques, beer drinking, firing guns & lighting fireworks. I'm not knocking these things but I've no plans for any of them. However, I will be spending some time thinking about those who went on before us and paid the price to give us our Independence Day. Ya'll have a good one. Owen49: Memorial Day isn't for us Veterans. It's for our brothers and sisters who didn't get to come back home. Owen49: 17May24--I just rec'd a phone call informing me Alfred "Nick" Oglesbee of Pioneer, Ohio died. I'd known Nick since September of '69. He was a U.S. Army Veteran, a paratrooper who participated in the invasion of The Dominican Republic. He had cancer.
