Barnes City, Iowa (KCRG)
"Flags in Iowa will fly at half staff for the funeral of a sailor killed in World War 2.
Seaman First Class Wesley Jordan, of Deep River, Iowa, died in the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. He was aboard the USS Oklahoma when it sunk (sic) in the attack by Japanese warplanes.
Jordan's remains were recently identified and returned to his family. He was buried Friday with full military honors in Barnes City Cemetery in Poweshiek County,"
Not a real member - just an ordinary guy who appreciates being able to hang around and say something once in awhile.
Happily Trapped In the Past (Thanks, Joe)
Not only a less than minimally educated person, but stupid and out of touch as well.

Under the wide and starry sky
Dig the grave and let me lie.
Glad did I live and gladly die,
And I laid me down with a will.
This be the verse you grave for me;
"Here he lies where he longed to be,
Home is the sailor, home from sea,
And the hunter home from the hill."
Requiem by Robert Louis Stevenson

if a man speaks, and there isn't a woman around to hear him, is he still wrong?
