Great Thread!

This will be very helpful to me as soon as I get a bit of time for myself and the Canteen.

A note on happenings. Remember when I told ya'll about my friends son joining the Coast Guard? Well, they sent him to N.O. after graduation to help with "Recovery".

I dont have the details (nor does his family), but he was shot in the Chest (He's OK!! wearing vest) he exchanged fire, believe fatally..they removed him from N.O. early, he's not supposed to or will not, talk about it.

His brother, a new Marine..will be leaving on an 11 country tour in six months time, he'll be gone about 8 months. He just married his high-school sweet-heart..

I've lurked a bit the last few days..may have more time to post, later. But..I've just been called to work..

The morons who fired on our heroes during rescue efforts deserve to rot down there. Or worse. IMO.
