From a reader:
This Friday. "Just a reminder - on February 18th at 9 am a judge will make a ruling on the lawsuit against moving the monument in front of the Courthouse ! If ya can make it for a rally at the Statue at 9 am on that day it would be great to show support for keeping the Statue in place !"

The term "Chicken Colonel" is derogatory and Incorrect.

DeleteLooking it up, we find that "Chicken Colonel" refers to a full colonel. Our apologies for mislabeling Mr. Kennedy's rank. He would be considered a "Light Colonel."
ReplyDeleteEven using "Chicken Colonel" for a Full Colonel is derogatory. Is it used? Yes, but VERY infrequently, is considered Nasty and is always said in Poor Taste.
ReplyDeleteThe correct 'slang' for a Full Colonel is, "Full Bird" Colonel....referring to the Silver Eagle insignia on their uniform.
How do I know? My father was one.
