I lived on N. Normandie, too, between Harold Way and Hollywood Blvd. Used to walk down to Zankou Chicken for dinner all the time. Unsurpassable shawerma plates. Spent a lot of Saturdays at the 9-hole course in Los Feliz – $5 to play or something. I always regret that I didn’t eat more Thai food while I lived there.

Dan,
Thanks for this article. It appears you have certainly overcome some challenges in life and everything came out OK. As a veteran, I really appreciate your thanks!
Best,
Alex

Daniel, many of us have our own versions of your story, and such holidays amplify the feelings. For example, the common feeling of guilt associated with coming from a military family, yet not having served for whatever reason. You know, each year it seems to become harder and harder to find the old veterans selling lapel poppies – My own very small way of remembering veterans. That, plus thanking the ones I know or encounter. Politics aside, the sacrifices they and their families make is too-little understood and under-appreciated, even in this region. But one should not discount other ways to serve, as you have served and offered support. For those so-inclined, the USO is one place through which one can do so.
