She and her DAR colleagues spread the wealth, being sure to recognize every branch of our armed forces, to include the Guard, Reserve and family members. And, June is particularly inclusive when it comes to the wide range of wartime (and peacetime!) eras which the robust Lake and Sumter veteran community represents. The majority of Continental Soldiers were young men between the ages of 15 to 30, she told me. Maybe that s why the DAR is just as keen on lending a hand to Service recruiters or stirring up support for returning Afghanistan or Iraq vets as they are about supporting local school teachers with materials and speakers lest we forget names like Bunker Hill, Yorktown and Valley Forge.
Roy Exum: Publix Could Care Less Friday, February 19, 2021 - by Roy Exum

The loonies are out in Florida, “boycotting” the premier grocery chain, Publix, because the daughter of “Mr. George” Jenkins donated about $2.5 million to the Trump presidential campaign. More specifically, Julia (Julie) Jenkins Fancelli was asked to donate $300,000 for Trump’s final rally, which gave the extreme-right fanatics the chance for a clandestine and well-planned “insurrection” to break into the nation’s Capitol Building.
Let me let the Florida chapter of The Legion of the Miserable in on an obvious secret. Publix could care less. The lot of you are small potatoes, nothing, not even a blip on any radar screen or heart monitor. Tragically, five years from now, or even 10, you will still be whiny, empty, and shallow because your acid will eat its way through your container.
