Wow! And you were going to be busy moving this week? That’s a great presentation, Hook - I had to watch it twice. Makes me very thankful for all of our warriors. Hooah!
Sure makes me wish there had been MilBlogs back in 72 when I got back from Nam. Maybe the animosity that was directed at us would have been less. God Bless the USA.
Don - that’s one of the reasons we blog, to show our support for the troops. Thank you for your service, and Welcome Home. (Kinda late, but better than never, I hope!)
Thank you for the “messing around”, Hook. Excellent job!
Don, just one more reason I’m so grateful for the internet and the opportunity to thank those to whom we owe so much! Had we had this during the VN war, you’d certainly have heard a big ‘Thank You’ from me. Better late than never - THANK YOU!

Thanks Hook. Pride and Tears. God bless those that serve and those that have paid the ultimate sacrifice for this great land. I thank all of them.

♦ Veterans - Use your VA Benefits to Refinance your home loan with VA Loan Refinancing from VLC.
♦ Allured by a cheap car insurance and other cheap deals. Many tend to overspend on their credit card. This leads them to loans and eventually a debt. If you are planning to work at home, you will have to be careful about all this and more.
In view of a recent tendency to identify characters in fiction with real people, it seems proper to state that there are no real people in this volume: both the characters and their names are ficticious. The names or designations of any military units are ficticious. There are no living people nor existing military units presented in this book.
-Ernest Hemingway
Halfway down the road to hell,
In a shady meadow green,
Are the souls of all dead troopers camped
Near a good old-time canteen.
And this eternal resting place
Is known as Fiddler's Green.
