This is an interesting question ;
Does it mean the Turkey or Chicken is inedible ? Naw . It pertains to Old Men who stand on principle , Women too .
It describes the " Old Guard " which is slowly passing into history . Those who served their country , raised a law abiding , religious ( to a point , for some ) family and gave all for their world .
Giving all isn't just patriotism . It's doing for your community . I still believe in that old saw ." It takes a community to raise a child ." The school aged members of my neighborhood know if something isn't right , go to " DOC's House .He'll call our parents! That's the way it was for me .
See an accident ,? Help where you can , my neighbors did when I couldn't get out of my T-Boned van last year .We do here in New Braunfels .
Someone is hurt for whatever reason . Help out where you can . If you can only walk a dog , answer a door or even just be a shoulder to cry on . "Tough Old Bird "? Naw - Just well seasoned ! Tanker - Builder P.S. It's also an old plane , broken many times , but still flying .
