WHY I'M HERE
Introduction | Rick Jones

Posted on 11/11/2003 1:34:43 PM PST by rott357

I served in Vietnam in 69-70 with Delta Company, 2nd Platoon, 1st Squad, 4th Battalion, 12th Infantry Regiment, 199th Light Infantry Brigade (REDCATCHERS). I'm 100% disabled since 1994. I enjoy helping other veterans to attain their rightful benefits resulting from the sacrifices they made for their country. My wife Kim is also a veteran who served as an Army medic in Karlsruhe, Germany during Gulf War I. We're a very patriotic couple and appreciate and respect our current administration and especially our military. "God Bless the USA."

Be easy on the newbies.

Nothing wrong with a little healthy skepticism.
It's not as if we've never been visited by imposters.

"And this is breaking news how?"

Hmmm, I don't see it in the "Breaking News" bar. Only in "News/Activism | Latest Threads".

Thank you and God bless for your service to our country and protecting the freedom of the free world to both you and your wife, Rott357.

Welome to FR!

Yes. Thank you. However, I'm a little fuzzy on the application deadline (must be this damn tin foil hat . . .)

Hey, buddy, you got it backwards. You don't write an intro on joining FR. You're supposed to wait until you leave in a huff, then write an Opus!

As an intro, though, this one's not bad. Welcome to FR!
