What a great article! I enjoyed the authors humor and within the article...
"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
They've got a point about the fanaticism. It is a very expensive hobby, once you add in uniform cost, reeds, and transportation. Currently, our local band only plays a few paying gigs per year, so it's almost 100% out of pocket... i would actually say 99.94%.

...I would still play if I had to pay the other .06%, by the way.
