Welcome, By-Godders, to the Shotgun/Throwdown, brought to you today by Hedrick.  That makes a Sweet 16.

It's November 11, Veterans Day, so please take a moment to honor and remember all of those who have served our country through the years.  I'm sure some of the readers here are veterans and to them I want to express a very heartfelt "Thank You."  Today is also my mother's birthday, so Happy Birthday Mom (not that she ever reads this).  Yesterday was the U.S. Marine Corps 234th Birthday and I wish a belated Happy Birthday/thank you to them as well.  Your tips, suggestions and requests are always appreciated (and honored).  Updated Noon (somehow I forgot about Metronews).  Here we go...
