Mess Call was 1800 this evening for members of the Anderson Veterans Society of all races, creeds, and sexual orientations on the Eighth Annual Veterans Day Grub Crawl.

image005The Breakfast Brigade began at 0530 outside Ohio Second District Congressman’s “Bronze Star Brad” Wenstrup’s Office located at 7954 PFC James Miller IV and Staff Sergeant Richard T. Pummill Memorial Highway (aka Beechmont Avenue), so Anderson Veterans could visit every one of the 487 area restaurants in Anderson and the surrounding tri-state areas offering Free Food for Veterans on Veterans Day 2021: Bob Evans (Hotcakes, brioche French toast, and the country biscuit breakfast), IHOP (Red, White & Blue Pancakes, which come with glazed strawberries (red), blueberry compote (blue), and whipped cream (white), Denny’s (Build Your Own Grand Slam®), and White Castle (Breakfast Combo).

Mess Call was 1200 for this afternoon’s Grub Crawl Tour with many more area restaurants offering free food for Veterans, with a quick stop at Great Clips to pick up coupons for Free Haircuts for Veterans that have to be used before the end of the year.

image006Dinner on tonight’s Eighth Annual Veterans Day Grub Crawl included complimentary appetizers at both Carrabba’s Italian Grill and Red Lobster; a special entrée on the house at Hooters, if you know what we mean; a free Blooming Onion appetizer and beverage at the Outback Steakhouse; and for a really special dessert, we couldn’t go home without some of that Double Chocolate Fudge Coca-Cola Cake at Cracker Barrel, that we planned to save for a midnight snack.  Meanwhile, that ever-popular special sit-down dinner, free of charge at Golden Corral is scheduled for Monday night.

image005Last year, because of Governor DeWhine’s restrictions, Anderson Veterans were not able to pig out on Veterans Day at the Patriot Center, 6660 Clough Pike, where the Anderson Township Veterans Memorial Committee provided a complimentary dinner, cash bar and live entertainment. Dinner tonight was again provided by Belterra and Desserts were once again been donated by Mt. Washington Care Center.

Tonight’s veterans dinner again featured a Missing Man Table, also known as the Fallen Comrade Table, which is a semi-official place of honor in some dining facilities of the US armed forces in memory of fallen, missing in action, or prisoner of war military service-members.  That table serves as the focal point of ceremonial remembrance, originally growing out of US concern of the Vietnam War POW/MIAs.

Highlight of the 2019 dinner was an after-dinner visit by a quartet of very funny headliners from The Veterans of Comedy— that group of military veterans and veteran comedians who’ve chosen to represent and support talented veterans who desire to share their gifts with the world. Their stated mission has been to use laughter as a tool to create and foster bonds between Veterans and their communities. They partner with organizations and groups who provide resources and education to transitioning Vets. Through performances at military institutions, comedy clubs, casinos, and theaters worldwide, they have been able to demonstrate the power of laughter as a method for coping and connecting.

image005And speaking of jokes, Unamused Andersonian Veterans couldn’t stop wondering about all those newly elected Anderson Republican Elected Officials who were AWOL from tonight’s patriotic event. How unforgiveable was that! Such is the case with too many unschooled elected officials these days who think all they have to do for effective constituent communications is to post a few more crappy pictures on Facebook. And since The Blower is the exclusive source of any meaningful Forest Hills School Board News, these folks better listen up!

Tonight Turpin Grad Dan Varner And His Group gave a fantastic benefit concert for the Veterans at the Patriot Center. You wouldn’t believe how many country music fans were in the audience who knew all the words to the songs. 

image005image009SPEAKING OF PATRIOTIC: : Veterans at tonight’s Veterans Day Dinner at the Patriot Center were so impressed reading all those hand-written thank-you notes from those cute little Maddux elementary school fourth-graders. Wouldn’t it be funny if organizers wanted to see if some of the high school honor students at Anderson and Turpin could show how much they’ve learned during their years of political brainwashing in the Forest Hills District Woke School System.

A Turpin Sophomore wrote: “Thank you for your service to our countrie. I always think of you when I look at the flag. Have a great day. Happy veteran’s day.” —Sincerely, Melissa; An Anderson Junior wrote: “Thank you for serving our country. We are thankfull for your service. Thanks for being brave. Happy Veterans Day. —Your Friend, Zack”; And our Turpin Valedictorian wrote” Thank you for your service to this country. Your service let me and my firneds go for to school. I have freedom because of you. You made a commitment to let people be free and be able to vote. I thank you for your service. —Sincerely, Grace.” 94-year-old A.J. Hammond, the oldest veteran in attendance, said, “Grace will go far. She really knows how to suck up.”

Note: the reason all of these hand-written letters were printed is because cursive is no longer taught in the Forest Hills School District, where dumbed-down voters previously approved that humongous $103 million Tax Hike Scam (that will really cost $170 million on top of the thousands of dollars in school taxes property owners were already paying).

And not enough low-information voters figured out how much that year’s Tax Hike Scam would be costing them. Didn’t any of them look at his property tax bill to see how much they were already paying for school taxes? You’d think there’d be no way we’d see so many stupid voters.

image005image009FINALLY, AT YESTERDAY’S MEETING OF THE CONSERVATIVE AGENDA, Political Insiders were asking Charles Foster Kane about his personal patriotic message on Veterans Day. No, it wasn’t just by driving the bus on the Eighth Annual Veterans Day Grub Crawl, where Anderson Veterans could visit every one of the 487 area restaurants offering Free Food for Veterans, but our Beloved Whistleblower Publisher tried to send a patriotic message to the anti-Trumpers and Disagreeable D-RATS with Trump Derangement Syndrome by hanging a large American flag above his driveway. Others Kane wanted to send a patriotic message to included rustlers, cutthroats, murderers, bounty hunters, desperados, mugs, pugs, thugs, nitwits, half-wits, dim-wits, vipers, snipers, con men, Indian agents, Mexican bandits, muggers, buggerers, bushwhackers, horn-swagglers, horse thieves, bull dykes, train robbers, bank-robbers, ass-kickers, shit-kickers, and Methodists.”

REMEMBER: If you can’t improve on the news, you shouldn’t even be reporting it.
