I had a strange note on my front door today. [View all]

Someone I don't know asked where I got my "Veterans For Harris/Walz" sign in the front yard.

I called the number. The guy is obviously older than I. I bet if I saw him in town, I would assume he was a MAGAt.

I told him that I had assumed my sign would be quickly stolen and had bought two. I offered him my spare. He was very grateful.

I have a warm-and-fuzzy feeling. I helped a fellow vet and there will be another sign in our small town.
