| Special Offer for Rantburg Readers |
| 2004-05-19 |
| I have a very generous friend Gary whose father served (Bronze Star and a couple of Purple Hearts!) in WWII. Gary donated money in his father’s name to the building fund for the new WWII Memorial here in Washington DC. His donation entitled him to five tickets to the dedication ceremonies on Saturday, May 29. Gary can’t be here, and I will be in town but entertaining guests. So I’m making them available to the good folks at Rantburg. Quick details: Five tickets to seating section 3 for the 2 p.m. dedication. This section is actually quite a long distance from the memorial itself, but very close to the "WWII Reunion" area near the Capitol. You can expect a long hot day with not much shade, but we are assured that our officials and planners are ready for any contingencies. Special bonuses for this year’s Memorial Day weekend; geezers, Rolling Thunder, and a extra-big helping of 17-year cicadas! The post title link goes to the official website for the WWII Memorial. If you’d like the tickets, contact me at seafarious@yahoo.com |

| #5 I only go to DC to protest Bushitler or march in the homo parade, but thanks anyway. If your political inclinations prevent you from having any sense of gratitude for those who selflessly gave their lives to protect the very freedoms you write about excersising, then liberty is wasted upon you in the worst way. |

| #2 Seafarious - I saw the memorial a couple of weks ago while in DC, and I wish I could go, but my vacation time is spoken for for the rest of the year. Thank you for the offer though, sir! Mike |
