    I didn't agree with him either, but he had my respect. Same with John Kerry.
    They both earned the right to stand on whichever side of the aisle that they believed was correct.

    Sometimes I agreed, sometimes I didn't agree, with John McCain which in itself says he was his own man. And this country could use more politicians who wore the uniform. I believe he put country before party.

    I read all of the posts in this thread and I agree with all of them.

    What I want to know is where did my post about, White House having to be pressured to lower flags to half staff, go? I guess it didn't fit with someone's political feelings!

    Please help support the Creek.

    Bruce, SMC has not changed formats. If you are seeing something different you are probably seeing the mobile format. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and select vB4 Default Style.
    In regards to the funding thread, it had run it’s course.
    Please help support the Creek.

    Same computer, but format changed a couple months back. A couple other have also noted this. As for scrolling down to bottom of page and selecting vB4 default style, there is nothing at bottom of page for that. There is log out, full site, and top listed as choices

    Bruce,.....at the very bottom of my page is a blue bar. At left edge of that bar is a drop down screen where you can select "vB4 Default Style.


    I switched to the "mobile default style" and saw what you are getting. Select "FullSite". Then at the bottom of the page select "vB4 Default Style."

    Thanks Ken. Selected "full site" and returned to old style format. Maybe there should be a "sticky" somewhere explaining the process, as when my format changed, so did the format for some others.

    I am late to the service and like others in the thread we had different basic leanings but I always had the utmost respect for him. I always felt he did what he thought was right the vast majority of the time whether it was politically expedient or not at the time. RIP Senator McCain and thank you for your service both inside and outside our country.

    I was surprised at the high number of events in different places. But he planned it and his family was able to get through a
    pretty taxing schedule. His Mom is a real paragon of dignified composure.

    Respect for his sacrifice and military service, yes. Beyond that, it is impolite to speak ill of the dead.
