Do you think if enough of us active-duty and retired soldiers called Kroger’s corporate headquarters that they would reinstate the 10 percent off for soldiers? Let’s all give it a try. I know I tried.

I just come on my way from work and just saw two empty buses, one coming off Fort Stewart and one down 84 as I was standing outside by Pizza Hut. Bus seemed to be empty.

Did anyone see the Glenn Beck show on Fox cable news last week where President Obama signed an executive order to lone Brazil $2 billion to drill for oil off their shores for the sole purpose of benefitting China and not the USA?

Darrell Mainey, one of my friends, saved our trailer from burning up. There was a house burning and he knocked on the trailer door and said, “There’s a house on fire right behind you.” My hat’s off to you, Darrell Mainey, and you’re a good person.
