My father is a resident of Indiantown Gap National Cemetary. This, of course, is one of the many honors that will forever be denied to you.

What is the honor in being buried in an obscure national cemetary?

Tell me why most people buried in a national cemetary are worthy of any more honor than those who buried in any other cemetary?
[/quote]
Put, you clearly have no sense of honor.
Ask your father about National Cemetaries. If he has any honor, maybe he can tell you.

[/quote]The honor achieved by the vast majority of people buried in national cemetaries was an honorable discharge from the military or any of a list of other organizations such as the Department of Public Health.
There is no more honor in getting an honorable discharge than there is in becoming an Eagle Scout.

Your response speaks volumes regarding your character, or more specifically, your lack of character.
How many Eagle Scouts do you know of who served, were wounded or died because of their status as Eagle Scouts?
So 'long, moron.

[/quote]Tell me something. Is being wounded, or killed in action, the criteria for being buried in a national cemetary--or is it being honorably discharged?
You see, Phul, you're the fool who doesn't know what you're talking about. Sure there are heroes in the cemetaries--lying alongside of a whole hell of a lot of tombstones that say things like,
Joe Blow
Lt. Col. USMC
WW-II
1920 -- 2004
Old Joe was in "the big one" but old Joe was not killed there, and old Joe was not necessarily wounded. All it means is that Old Joe did not get drummed out of the Corps.
Not getting dishonorably discharged is no more honorable than not beating your wife.

Well, you know how it is–not much room on a tombstone.
Where am I wrong? My own father will be buried in a national
cemetary–as will my mother. Neither of them died in war and
neither of them were wounded in battle.
He was honorably discharged, she was not.
How is being buried in a national cemetary an honor?

It may not be viewed as an honor by you, Put. That's your perogative to take it that way. But, for those that choose to be buried there it is certainly an honor to be laid to rest among all those others who served their country. It is also very meaningful to the family members. I visit my father's national cemetary grave every time I visit the city where it is. I always get goose-bumps standing among the rows and rows of small marble headstones and can't help but give a prayer of thanks for all those buried there that in some small way (and in many cases very large way) honorably served to help protect our country and our freedom.

If you’re in a battlefield cemetary that would be an appropriate
emotion–however national cemetaries are not battlefield cemetaries.
My father AND MOTHER have a site already chosen in such a cemetary in the DFW area.
Did my mother serve honorably? Only if you consider the fact that she
cared for three sons while he was away in Korea, or when he went to the
bunker during the Cuban Missle Crisis, although her sons were then
teenagers.
For that matter did my father serve honorably? If you describe
honorable service as the absence of dishonorable service then sure–but
if you’re talking heroism stuff, getting wounded, etc. no he didn’t.
Dog catchers run a greater risk of being hurt on the job than most of
the people who are buried in the nation’s national cemetaries.
They are cemetaries, just like any other, except that the taxpayers pick up the costs.
If they were final resting places for heroes–and nobody else–perhaps
all the whining would be appropriate. But they are not–and
somebody who figures that every person taking their dirt nap in such a
place was a hero is simply wrong.
So service to the United States (a subject about which you have no firsthand knowledge) means nothing?
You really are a piece of garbage, Put.

[/quote]Virtually nothing.
Government employees are not worthy of any more praise than employees of any other organization.
I am the son of a Genral officer and an officer's wife--does it make sense to you that I and my brothers would not have spent some time wearing the country's uniform?
What accolades should I be given for having done my part in the mid to late 1960s?
I think you said you were in the Army--what did you do, keep Fort Knox safe from an invasion from somewhere in Kentucky?
Are we, the nation, supposed to give you a lifelong collective attaboy--or say thanks serving, good luck with the rest of your life.

AMEX is a poor firm with poor management (Put who spends his day here) and poor products. Your client’s deserve. Do more research. Try to get an interview at Raymond James. They are first class.

This girl will be gone from RJ on her first anniversary date because
she is the epitome of the punk kid who thinks they have the answers.
A young person is going to fail at the wirehouses 95% of the time because the standards are high and punks cannot hit the marks.
Instead a young person–punk know it alls or kids just looking for
advice–should look for an opportunity to break in where they have a
chance of making it.
Again, this Maybeeeee girl is a definite RJ reject.
Anybody wanna bet the “Maybeeeee” indicates that she is morally
casual? That could be her ace in the hole–there are guys who
will open accounts with girls who get around.

[/quote]Nah, she has all the credibility of a sixteen year old attending her first pep-rally.
She's the girl who said she interviewed with "every" firm, had offers from all of them, but chose a second tier player out of that hot-bed of finance, St. Petersburgh.
Actually, St.Petersburg has some great beaches stretching from ft.de sota all the way up past Clearwater. If I had to make a decision strictly based on location, I would rather work out of St.Pete versus Minneapolis (ameriprise hq).

Maybe irrelevant, yes, Put. I was just putting on my amateur psychology hat and trying to figure out some possible reasons for your anger, lack of compassion, intolerance, prejudice, "me, me, me" attitude, holier than thou attitude, etc. that permeates throughout most of your posts.

[/quote]Anger? How so?
Lack of compassion? What about a message board requires compassion?
Intollerance? A sure sign of immaturity is the inability to grasp the meaning of, "I do not suffer fools gladly."
Prejudice? Yep, and only a moron does not prejudge. Being able to prejudge is what seperates us from the rest of the animal kingdom--I know not to run into traffic because I have prejudged, my dog is incapable of prejudging and as a result needs me to watch out for him.
Me, me, me? If you were enjoying your life as much as I am enjoying mine you'd want to tell me about yours too. I think it's sad that so m any people lead such boring lives that they never have anything to say--and eventually end up envying those of us who live life to the hilt.
Holier than thou? I suppose that's a way of saying that I think I'm better than somebody else. Well, I am. There is not a way of measuring ourselves against others that I do not come out in the upper 5%--not one.
In any case, what would the presence or absence of children have to do with it?

Just some psychology stuff, Put, re the children question. If you're really interested, some night while you're petting your dog do some research. You'll find some studies relating to those who have never had children. You'll also find stuff on those who had children, but lost them through death or estrangement. You're just evidencing a lot of the traits of those who have been subject to such situations. Of course, it may have nothing to do with any of that -- just my own musings about the reason. There are many other life events which could have caused how you're behaving and thinking.
