I've got a couple dozen great cartoons on file concerning this day, but I'm including this one here because of its visual impact. It kind of takes the bad taste out of my mouth that I got when I saw Vice President Cheney place the wreath on Saturday at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. In my opinion, he doesn't deserve the honor.
Then there's my uncle Ralph, my last surviving relative who fought in WWII. A helluva a guy. A quiet man. Somebody who bounced up and down atop the Pacific for a couple days in 1944 after a Jap sub shot his destroyer out from under him. Yes, I have a couple Japanese imports in my garage. But Ralph buys only Buicks.
