It really chaps my hide that on the one day of the year that is most sacred to us veterans, people are carrying on without paying any mind to those of us who served. I served my country proudly in the Navy during the Korean War from 1950-52. When we first landed on the shore after being on a boat for a week, I was so sick that I barfed all over the place. Eventually I got my bearings and I ran over a couple of Koreans in a Jeep one day because they got too close to me and they were sucked up into the wheel well. I was awarded a medal for saving the Marines a couple of bullets in that incident. Eventually, I settled into the swing of things and I ended up fathering four children during my time over there. One evening, my Korean girlfriend served me braised dog. I begged her to go ahead and roast it but she insisted that her way was better. The dog was so undercooked that I ended up contracting dysentery which led to me being awarded a Purple Heart. Every year on Memorial Day since I got out of the VA hospital for PTSD, I celebrate the glorious achievements of our brave boys over there as well as bask in the glory of my own wartime exploits. Usually I have some friends over for a hot dog roast, but this year we're going all out by also cooking some hot links, chicken legs and turkey burgers. I'm sure a great time will be had by all but most of all I want to express my displeasure at those who ride balloons and wear thong bathing suits on the day that honors my war buddies getting their legs blown off. The least they could do is dedicate that old ZZ Top song to them and change the lyrics to "He's got a leg."

Dam it! Everybody is having a good time and you have to bring those stinky hungry homeless vets into this.

Nothing gets celebrated for what it means anymore, christmas is a great example.

That's the best description of the craptacular event I have seen.
What a way to celebrate what should be a solemn day of remembrance.

Probably not going to another balloon fest, until they get the crowd taken care of, it was stupid there were too many dumb ass drunks around small tiny children. Plus the people drinking weren't even taking care of their kids, babies still in diapers running around by themselves and pissing themselves while their parents sat around getting wasted. Thats ridicules they should not allow these people to drink if they have small children still in diaper, those kids shouldn't have not been there to began with. This whole thing needs to be alcohol free or they need to set a age limited to determine who will be allowed into the park. I don't under stand Wet n Wild they only let a certain amount of people in the Wave pool but don't watch out for the amount to people going into the lazy river ride, it was like a riot in there, stupid disrespectful punks I was so mad I went around once and got out it was ridicules, I just can not believe how stupid the whole ride was I was pissed off for the rest of the day because of the experience I had on the ride. The whole experience was aggravating, I never will go again.

Um have you not been in El Paso long? This is the model citizens that make up this unholy city. Oh and if you make it alcohol free, nobody would go cause thats another thing this town is great for...stinking alcoholics. Welcome to north Juarez

Buzz Adams, is hack who rips off all his material from major radio markets and passes it of as own. The only thing original about his show is the fat on his gilry thighs. Closet Homo

You're a moron. Give one example of a bit he's stolen from another market.
You don't have to like the guy, but passing on ignorant and misleading information to discredit him speaks more about you than it does for him.

Free education and you're still just a dumb beener. It represents just another day for you to be lazy and accomplish nothing while sucking on the govt tit.

i would like to see you live in a country that has no military, see how you would survive during an invasion or crisis. you are pathetic, you probably have no career and that's why you try putting our soldiers down cause that makes you feel better. Got some advice for you: Get a life!

You mean like Mexico? I would like to see many of the beeners giving that a try. They should continue to fk up their country and leave the US alone.

What you describe is chaos and I hate to go to an event that is not organized and where people do not follow the rules. If parents don't watch their kids and are getting drunk, well a child could drown there. Sounds like I may pass up this event.
