VETERANS PRESS: Indivisible … with liberty and coffee for all

My first recollection of a good cup of coffee was at the chow hall in Fort Myer, Va. Yep. Army coffee. I'm a Navy gal and I love Navy coffee but there was no base for WAVES in the MDW (Military District of Washington). So, I was housed at Fort Myer. That coffee was good. This was around 1971. These days it's: Can I get a double shot tall skinny sugar-free no whip dry white chocolate mocha? With a straw and a sleeve? The Fort Myer coffee came from an enormous stainless-steel urn. Hefty white mugs. No cream or sugar for me. Straight up black coffee. And it was good.

“The first to plead his case seems right, until another comes and examines him.” When you first hear ‘open primary,’ it sounds fair.
