Applesauce
Pat Cunningham offers an unabashedly liberal perspective on national politics. A note of caution: The language gets a litttle salty on some of the sites to which this blog links. So, don’t say you weren’t warned. By the way, this blog’s name is inspired by the Will Rogers quote, “All politics is applesauce.”

This Memorial Day 2008 rolls around at a time when U.S. military veterans are dying at a RECORD PACE of about 1,800 a day.

Last year, the median age of World War II veterans reached 84.  For Korean War vets, it was 76. For Vietnam, 60.

There are still more than 23 million living veterans, but the number is gradually dwindling.
