A Grateful Country

Word challenge:  RUGOSE (I would NOT like to have this word applied to me!)  see end of post for explanation

Today, August 14, 2010, marks the 65th anniversary of the end of World War II, when Japan surrendered to the United States. Only a small number of veterans of that war are still alive, but for those who are, we salute your bravery and heroism and thank you for the free country that you saved for us today. For more about World War II, see American Hero: The Audie Murphy Story at my website: http://www.peggycaravantes.com/. Audie was the most decorated soldier of WWII.

"The difference between the right word and the almost right word is the difference between lightning and a lightning bug." ~Mark Twain

Rugose means "having many wrinkles or creases."
