I spent Thanksgiving at Fort Campbell, and took my son and my nephew (whose father is currently in Baghdad) to the post museum. We watched some very inspiring movies there, and saw some great displays of hardware, including one of the WWII gliders that the 101st rode into battle. The boys loved the story of McAuliffe's response to the Germans, and Patton's quote that "any man that eloquent deserves to be saved."
The mood at Ft. Campbell is somber these days, as the 101st took a lot of casualties in November. Let's keep the Screaming Eagles, 5th SF Group, and everyone else deployed in harm's way in our prayers this Christmas.
