Although as a flyboy, I'm hardly qualified to say this, I'll say it anyway.

Garryowen!

Ronnie, several of the older battles of the Seventh Cavalry were fought in Montana about 250 miles from my location. I've been to the site. It's a very moving experience. The cemetary has many graves of survivors who wanted to be buried nearby.

[SAMWolf]

Thanks, I can only imagine what it was like to serve under a commander of his stature.

Oh boy, three of them? I can hardly handle one :) Considering other kids I see, she is a good kid! Just the little teenage stuff here and there, not agreeing with Mom, there is something new!

Just this week, I watched the movie version again, for about the 3rd or 4th time since I bought the DVD. After I first saw it in the theater, I went directly from the theater to the bookstore to buy the book and see how faithfull the movie was to the book. In a word, very.

By all means see the movie, but get the book as well. If you can get one of the early versions from a used bookstore, the man on the cover is Rick Rescola, who was killed in the WTC attack, after getting most of the people he was responsible for, as head of security, out of the building.

[SAMWolf]

I've got a newer version of the book, it has Mel Gibson on the cover. My daughter got me the DVD last Christmas. Both are IMHO excellent.

[SAMWolf]

Not agreeing with MOM must be universal, my wife is outnumbered, LOL! They are good kids though, no major trouble.

[Mon]

Haha!

[Valin]

I'm not confused, I'm well mixed.

[SAMWolf]

LOL! It's a loooooooooooong story.

[SAMWolf]

Thanks AC. How you been?
