Semper Fi, FRiend.
And don't talk to me about bringing back the draft. The elites will continue to dodge the draft, just as they have since the War of Northern Aggression.
I use that tongue in cheek, out of respect for an old Army buddy who hails from Virginia. His roots go way back, all the way to Martha Dandridge, future wife of George Washington.
We were stationed together from 78-81, at C Battery 6/56 ADA at Hahn AB. Later, we moved to Battalion HQ at Spangdahlem AB. I never heard his wife speak English until our get together last year. Off base, we spoke German almost exclusively.
Salute ya, man. You are the real deal. We had the Jefferson Airplane class of boomers and the Charlie Daniels class. Both sides still hate each other to this day.
I was introduced to Southern Rock my first year in Germany (1977). Along the way, I was buying a dozen albums a month, mixed my own tapes. When I was kicked up to Battalion HQ, I was listening to Radio Luxembourg in the afternoon.
Later, I was introduced to Spyrogyra...saw them in concert in El Paso. Due to a change in venue, I ended up in the front row. My then girlfriend hated it, for me it was the best concert ever. I made up for it be taking her to numberous George Strait and Willie Nelson concerts.
I celebrate December 4th, to honor the Million Dollar Quartet at Sun Studio in Memphis, on 12/4/1956.
Haven’t heard anybody mention Spyrogyra forever. I was a Four Tops guy. Spinners too. Harold Melvin, Stylistics. Ojays. Gladys Knight. We just had so much.
Giggling and having a girl moment on the stage.
World leader making plans that won’t take long to meet the objective.
