    I got a question or two. And a couple points. Guitars for which vets? The ones here, or overseas? We got enough junk to haul around without a guitar hanging off the pack.

    I also have to ask do y'all ever ask the vets what they want? I realize the intentions are good, but don't send cookies. They end up as crumbs.

    What's worth its weight in gold is powdered Gatorade. Instant coffee. Pictures from home.

    I'm just wondering about the arbitrary. I'm left handed. You hand me a stock guitar guess what?

    Restring it...??
    I have lost my mind. If found, please give it a snack and return it?

    Yeah but they look pretty stupid with the pick guard over the top.

    They have weekly lessons, then they have things like monthly jam sessions. It's for vets not service members. I've only been to this open mic and met some folks, but you take lessons for a while, then they give you an acoustic guitar.

    What's the difference between a service member and a vet? I thought we were all the same. My point is why don't you take the guy/gal out to dinner. I was the only guy in my company that could pick guitar. We ALL knew how to eat.
