Not sure who got you these!
Hope you can use a new journal.

Pink said to me recently, we've come a long way. So that set me reminiscing...
Who among us can forget that day in January when Girlene asked to be added to the Haditha Marine Ping List?
Or when lilycicero wondered what "ping" and "BTTT" meant (but hoped they were crude)?
Or when pinkpanther111 showed up and helped us find biographical material, or when she spread the word about the defense fund here and here?
All that got me thinking about some of our "firsts".
Like the first defense fund thread.
And the first posts by Darryl, Theresa (on our totally fun "A Haditha Marine Father Has a Question for Alan Colmes" thread), and Mrs W.
So I agree with pink (want to see her first post ever?), we have come a long way. And it's about time we said so! Also, with the SSgt Wuterich hearing coming up, I figured we could use a thread to just hang out when nothing else is happening. It beats FRmail--which sometimes gets a little hard to follow.
So here's to us and to seeing an end to this job we started!
Not sure who got you these!

Has anybody seen Girlene?

And oh yeah Red, Let me be the FIRST to wish you a Happy Birthday!
(It’s nice when they get to be this old, and the ol’ memory isn’t Quite what it used to be!)
And ice cream… 
And one very special gift I thought you would enjoy! 
It is the 50th Birthday DELUXE EDITION -- Just like you!!!
Happy Happy Birthday dear Red, and many more!!!
Happy Birthday, Red Rover!
So proud to know you!
Oh, sorry I missed you bigheadfred. I was out on a beer run. It took a while since I had to put the battery back in the lawnmower first.
A little something for whoever emptied out the bar!
AWESOME, AWESOME job, Justa! I like the tote bag. Wonder if Red would let me borrow it.
Thanks, Girlene! Hey, he went to bed. Grab whatever you can use. ;*)
I really love that graphic. Are you the other guy?
LOL! There have been others that say I am, I like it too.
And hey Girl, gotta hand it to ya on the stamina (wish I could put 'em away like that)
Thanks, I’ll just borrow the tote for now. If Red realizes it’s missing, I’ll give it back. Lily, here’s your chance to pick up some new clothes. Maybe you should leave the hat for bhfred, though.
Oh no, say it isn’t so. Not the big 5-0!
Happy Birthday Red! I am older than you!
The Sharratt’s love ya! Justin told me to tell you Happy Birthday and the beer is on him.
Theresa :)
LOL!!!
I hope you enjoyed the Grand Finale and your birthday party.
Sorry I missed all the fun!
But I did finally arrive at the scene.
Red was just leaving and posed for this great photo...
SO, HAPPY DAY AFTER BIRTHDAY, RED!!!!!
Well you two sure can cut a rug! LOL!
