I JUST HAD A GOOD LUNCH AT SIRLOIN STOCKADE WITH MY LONG-TIME FRIEND RICK JONES, WHO RETIRED FROM THE MARION V.A. AFTER 35 YEARS OF HELPING VETS OBTAIN THEIR BENEFITS. RICK IS A MARINE WHO WAS MY POWERLIFTING / BODYBUILDING WORKOUT PARTNER BACK IN THE DAY. HE LOST HIS DAD, BOTH SISTERS AND HIS SON, WHO FOUGHT IN IRAQ AND AFGHANISTAN.... A PROUD MARINE. HE HAS BEEN THROUGH HELL ITSELF, BUT CONTINUES TO FOCUS ON DOING ANYTHING THAT HE CAN FOR VETS, INCLUDING MY BROTHER MARK, WHO IS A 12 YEAR NAVY VETERAN. I WENT TO LUNCH AT THE OUTPOST YESTERDAY WITH MY NEIGHBOR JIM DUNN, WHO IS A RETIRED JONESBORO FIREFIGHTER AND KOREAN WAR VETERAN. JIM IS A GREAT GUY WHO POSSESSES A LOT OF WISDOM AND I LOVE TO PICK HIS BRAIN. I COULDNT ASK FOR BETTER NEIGHBORS THAN JIM AND HIS WIFE JOYCE, WHO RETIRED FROM THE MARION V.A. !!!
