RoadDog's RoadLog Blog: Being my travels down those great two lane highways of this nation as well as news I learn about them from media sources. Since I'm also very interested in historic preservation, there will be a lot of that as well.
The Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri. It can be yours for $125,000. Lots of possibilities. Actually, now you're too late. Missouri's Roamin' Rich bought it.

Salute Those Vietnam Veterans Today
Today is National Vietnam Veterans Day. I have my flag flying.
Over 58,000 Americans died. Over two and a half million served.
In the early 1960s we sent military advisors to South Vietnam and by 1963, some 16,000 Americans were there. After the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution the conflict expanded and by 1968, there were 500,000 military there.
The last American fighting troops left on March 29, 1973, which is why we commemorate their service today.
Hats Off to the Vietnam War Veterans!!!
