Welcome Home Vietnam Veterans Day 2018 on Delmarva

Friday, March 30th is Welcome Home Vietnam Veterans Day. First established in 2001, a number of dedicated individuals have worked tirelessly to see it made a national day of recognition and honor. Sadly, most of our veterans remember returning home from war to anything but a welcome, and for that reason I feel all of us can now step up and ensure to acknowledge their service and dedication. Of course, you don't need to wait for a specific date to shake the hand of someone who was there and say "Thank you for your service", but especially on March 29th and 30th there are a number of events being held to express our appreciation for what they have done.

Franchise vs. an Independent Family Business "Why I Use a Real Mechanic"

Dear Corporate Chain,

I don't think you are an independent, family owned business, no matter how many commercials you run telling me this. I'm hearing them constantly lately on the radio, listening to you explain how your "owners" which are actually "franchisees", see members of the community around town, at the bank or the post office, and that they know their customers.
