Happy B'day CP! Rod- thanks for this community- I enjoy every minute I spend here and truly learn something new every day from the BOTL's here. Not to mention it's made my tour here in Iraq ALOT less tedious!! Cheers, Rob

Doc, With all that Army in your bloodline how'd you end up a Navy Corpsman? Hope you had a great Memorial day and were able to reflect in your own way Cheers, R

Doc- thanks for the recollections- I remember some of that from my small town in the late 60's early 70's the VFW and Legion were strong and the Vietnam war hadn't really affected us with anti-war/vet sentiment like the cities. Souldog- part of the reason we have less of that sentiment now is...

I agree wholeheartedly with the above statements but if you truly want to be humbled go to the Verdun Cemetery or the American Cemetery at Colleville -sur-Mer www.abmc.gov/cemeteries/cemeteries/no.php The cemetery sits right above the battle site where almost all of these men fell (Omaha Beach)...

My Kurdish smoking experience- in 2003 when we went into Iraq in the North I came in with the Special Forces into Bashur and then down into Irbil/Arbil to set up Forward Air Bases for Helos and C-130s... initially I was only in command of 5 AF Maintainers and we had about 25 Green Berets. The...

Thanks for the post Wood- May we never get to the point that Great Britain is at today where on their version of Memorial day- Remembrance Day- in 2003 over 75% of the Britains age 18-45 didn't even know what the day meant except that it was a "Bank Holiday".... May we never regress that...

Didn't know Fuente made an Opus Haggis... all I know is I'm Scottish and I won't eat it... I did my clan proud and tried it...but she weren't for me laddy... and the blood pudding is to die for...lol.. I try to embrace the things Scotland does well Kilts, Sweaters and Single Malt...

I agree completely. When I paid my thanks to Joe Foss for what he did for his country and his countrymen he said, " I only did what any American would have done in my place." Truly an amazing man. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Foss

Thanks for that...very interesting reading and one truly great Citizen Soldier. There was a group of WWII Tank Mechanics that I used to run into while stationed in Phoenix and over many beers they told me about the charge through Europe what they had to do to keep the Tanks going and their...

This is such a good question..... I put out my Hero Herf edition of men I truly admire for their dedication to their country and their fellow Soldiers, Sailors and Airmen. 1. Joe Foss- MoH Guadalcanal, NRA president, SD Governor, AFL Pres... dynamic guy- privileged to get to meet him and buy...

It was late 2003- I had just come out of Northern Iraq after being there for 8 months and got my first chance to go home on leave to my parents house. My Brother came up from Nashville and took me out for a few drinks- being close in age growing up in a small town we were never close because we...

Is it me, or did this thread mistakenly start off sounding like a note in a truckstop mens room stall?? Sorry Nepas... it just struck me funny. Hope it's a great event! Cheers, R

You can replace the house, the possessions and (GASP!!) the cigars that went up in smoke alone (BLASPHEMY!!! ) but you definitely cannot replace your wife and kids.. truly glad you and yours are all still with us and give us your new address so we can help you start up your next coolerdor...
