Sorry to hear about your cousin...and it just goes to show, it never hurts to be prepared to meet your maker. Doubly so if you're going to slip into a uniform and lace up your boots every morning...or sneak out of the house like a thief in the dark of night to make it to PT on time. If what your cousin, SGT Hook and I did was EASY, then everyone would want to do it. I second your wishes for safety for our troops that serve us today, be it in the relative safety of the "everyday" Army as well as those in harm's way. Merry Christmas to all...and to all a good night. For you slackers out there...only two more shopping days until Christmas! MajorDad1984 Joyce…

He was 21yrs old and had survived Viet Nam. Back in the states at an Army base in KY, this young Sgt, while training others, encountered a malfunctioned smoke chamber. After several days in an iron lung, he passed. He was a devout Christian. He went to his Lord. God's speed to all who serve our freedom and safety. Memories Sgt Hook and Major Dad,
