Tuesday in Savannah
Today was spent in and around Savannah. We took one of the touring companies to get an overview of the city. Was a great day spent talking to various folks on the tour. I had a bit of fun with one lady when she asked where I was from.. I said I was from a small town in a state she had never heard of. When I told her it was in Georgia I thought she was going to pass out from lack of oxygen. It took her a full 10 minutes to get her breath back. Walking through the town in the various squares, I spent a lot of time talking to the varous college students here (the Savannah college of Arts and Design is located here) and had many questions about the kilt and where to find out more. Being a college town, folks were very open to this.
The only down side was one gentleman at the hotel asking if my wife dressed me this way. I looked him right in the eye and before I could get a word out my mother said "men look good in kilts!" the guy said sorry and quietly slinked away.
"A veteran, whether active duty, retired, national guard or reserve, is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to "The United States of America", for an amount of "up to and including my life." That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it." anon
