WHO: Congressman Christopher P. Carney, Members of the Susquehanna County American Legion
WHAT: Memorial Day Weekend Cook Out with Veterans and families
WHERE: Elk Lake American Legion in Susquehanna County, Elk Lake Road, Montrose, PA
WHEN: Sunday, May 30, 12:00 pm to 4:00 pm
I have attended this event in the past and it's a lot of fun. The best part is meeting the kids that are going to the service academies. They are the probably the toughest schools in the country to gain admission and their families are rightfully proud of them. Plus you get to make fun of Chris wearing an apron.
The drawbacks are is it is out in the boondocks (but it is not too hard to find) and it's next door to Dimock so you don't want to drink the water.

Now its time for a comment. This jerk just voted against the killing of Don't Ask Don't Tell and he said he did it because the Pentegon needs time to determine the result of killing it. Why not ask the KKK to kill civil rights in the south and wait to see what their study would show. I'm so friggin pissed at Carney that I would go to his cookout just to stick a hot dog up his ass! Friggin Jerk!
