Forgive the reference to demoncrats in the song. This was written about long ago when they were Dixiecrats.
WAR EAGLE CLICK!!
I bow to you Madam Star. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.
AND they aren't anything like we have......we break up our biscuit(s) on the plate and cover that with the gravy. Mom usually has two kinds - bacon gravy and chipped beef. She has a bacon and canalope on the side for anyone who wants it. I usually breakup the bacon into pieces on top. Mom cooks it every Sunday! Still brings us kids and the grandkids to visit!

NURISTAN PROVINCE, Afghanistan — Soldiers of the 10th Mountain Division lived up to their namesake, braving treacherous terrain and weather to accomplish their initial ground mission during the launch of the Coalition Joint Task Force 180’s latest strike in the war on terrorism, Operation Mountain Resolve.
Elements of 10th Mountain Division’s Warrior Brigade, led by Company B, 2nd Battalion, 22nd Infantry, air assaulted into farm fields on the outskirts of Namgalam Village in the eastern Afghan province of Nuristan shortly after nightfall Nov. 6. Upon landing they immediately began their mountainous trek that would ultimately end six days and more than 20 kilometers later on a mountaintop after reaching their objective, a suspected Anti Coalition Militant stronghold. During the first three nights the large 10th Mountain Division force traveled along the mountainsides of the Darrahe Waygal valley along the Fawerikhwar River.
Coalition forces had received information about ACM activity all throughout the valley, said Co. B Commander Capt. Toby Moore, and it was their job to disrupt any ACM operations and deny them sanctuary in a province that coalition forces hadn’t been in since the beginning of Operation Enduring Freedom.
As they moved through the valley, the foot soldiers were protected from the sky by AH-64 Apache helicopters and A-10 Thunderbolt II aircraft providing 24-hour close air support.

AR RAMADI, Iraq – A turkey gobbles in the fields of Elletsville, Indiana, an area known for its contribution to the Thanksgiving holiday. A turkey translator interprets the gobble. “I wish to be part of the All-American Thanksgiving this year in Iraq.” Excitement for this year’s Thanksgiving feast is not limited to the turkeys in the field.
“This year’s All-American Thanksgiving will be a festive atmosphere,” says food service supervisor Master Sgt. Mack E. Sumler, “as well as a tribute to the 82nd Airborne and all of the soldiers who are serving here.”
The festive soiree features a Thanksgiving lineup that promises to bring the most disciplined paratrooper All the Way back for seconds. Included in the feast are thanksgiving staples such as turkey, ham, stuffing, glazed sweet potatoes, shrimp cocktail, and an assortment of deserts and drinks.
Kellogg, Brown and Root food service technician, Melvin Young is making the necessary preparations required to feed an army. He is planning on going through 4,000 pounds of turkey, 3,000 pounds of shrimp, and 4,000 hams. Young, retired from the U.S. Army, also said KBR is working hand-in-hand with army food service workers to make the event a success.
