Memorial Day 2012
3 generations of Weil veterans celebrating this day
none of us ever mentioned this till this year when it occurred to me
My Father may not be with us next year and life is uncertain for all of us. It then occurred to me 3 generations of service men and all 3 reenlisted as well. All three of us served as Peace officers [all of these are my choice of words] Darce Weil is still serving as a Colorado Peace Officer.
It makes us each thankful to all the other Americans who have served to protect us and our freedoms

Ben-Yehuda gave up his chance at summiting Mt Everest to save a fellow climber --my hat is off to Ben.

Gary Sinise American Hero caring for Americas Heros

Submitted by Carl Weil on Fri, 2012-04-20 13:41

Gary Sinise once again steps up to the plate caring for one of Americas rare, now 4th, Quadriplegic War survivors US Army Sgt Travis Mills. I had guessed playing the roll of Lt Dan had an impact on him but I found out he has been a doer for others far before that roll. Garys humanitarian and philanthropic work is vast. He is only the third actor in history to have received the Presidential Citizens Medal. His foundation The Gary Sinise Foundation is a great one to donate through. garysinisefoundation.org
