I'm grateful for your years of service in your life.

Far too many Americans suffer from work-related injuries and just disappear from view with no word of thanks for their service and skills, and little sympathy for their long-term suffering that follows. They should all be celebrated as heroes.

I worked in hazardous industry for many years but came out relatively lucky. At 75, I only suffer from relatively minor back issues, although Mr. Arth Ritis is with me each day, mostly in my hands. In other words, I'm just plum wore out.

I hope you can find ways to discover tidbits of joy around you each day for the rest of your life, perhaps with nature or music and other forms of art. Please post a sample for us when you do discover something that brings you joy.

Thank you so much for sharing some of the details of your life with DU. You have inspired many of us today.

May peace be with you, SonofDonald............

Nice video on Sandhill Crane migration from The Nature Conservancy.

Great and U-line got whacked again.

Snip...

Not a good idea for your future to sell off your aquifers.

Sorry, capitalism lovers, but allowing your few natural resources to be squandered so a crown prince can have his steak just doesn't make sense.

Beautiful photo of our President with a future leader to top off the day.

Nine service members now confirmed killed and no survivors (Army press conference video).

President Carter fought for us with 2x4s rather than guns......

Applause, cheers for rescue teams leaving Turkey

Turkey saw off international search and rescue teams with applause and other gestures of thanks as teams from a number of countries returned home after helping in the wake of devastating earthquakes.

Pete Buttigieg is busy doing his job. Republicans are too busy running their mouths to do theirs.

The irony of DeWine's statement is that the Federal Government is all over that tragedy from day one and will be there until the last of the mess is cleaned up. They'll also be there in court to help citizens who have been harmed while DeWine turns his back.
