Texas FReepers, Mark your calendar for Saturday, April 21, 12:00 Noon.

We are so very fortunate that Freeper "leofl" has arranged to give us a tour of Fort Hood. Fort Hood is located near Killeen, West of I-35 exits at Temple, Belton area. Thanks so much Leo, for making this happen. Please note if you are interested in joining us. We're still working on a few details but for now here's Leo's note to us......

"I will take you on-post to both the 1st Cav museum and the 4th ID area. I will also show you some of the sights and maybe sounds of Fort Hood. Bring your cameras as you can take pictures at the museums. Other places are clearly marked and I assure you you will have a great time. This is a family friendly outing but there are some things everyone should know.

Fort Hood is now a restricted base. We can get on-base but be sure to bring:

A copy of your insurance card and registration for your automobile

Proper Government ID ie driver's license, State id etc

Do not bring any weapons even if you are a CCL licensee. This is federal property and it makes the guys with bigger guns crazy!!! lol

A fun attitude and a comfortable pair of walking shoes.

Children are welcome and appreciated!!! Let them see what some of our brave heroes are doing to protect their future. Besides I'm a big kid at heart!!"

You're so right about Teddy. Today he's a disgrace to our country.

I defended Fort Hood for one long weekend back when I was with the 5th Infantry (Mechanized). Or maybe I was attacking Fort Hood. Either way, I think we won and Fort Hood remained free.

With Sen. TED KENNEDY again striving to cut off our Funding for a Free People to fight for their own Freedom with,

..with our onw Freedom now directly at stake here at home,

he has made himself an Enemy of the Free...

...EVERYWHERE.

It has been my direct experience in life that the one thing the LOVE Itself needs more of in this world is...

...more LOVE.

And that only comes when people are...

...FREE..!!!

I wonder,

...just who is busy out there putting a broad smile on GOD's Face..?

Our Freedom-Fighter Soldiers bringing more Freedom to others around the world,

...or a Sen. TED KENNEDY who's still doing all he can to kill it..?

During the Cold War...

Sen. TED KENNEDY directly conspired, along with his College buddy Rep. JOHN TUNNEY of California, to defeat President RONALD REAGAN's correct plan to defeat an Evil Empire that was hell bent on defeating US.

For,
...the Enemy is now Within...
...and always has been.

While I appreciate the invite, I spent 9 months working for GDDS, C4S division there on-post, in suport of 4ID and 1st Cav (November 03 to May 04). Also spent one month (March 04) at Fort Collins support 3rd ACR. I was installing the TOC gear, configuring the Cisco routers (outside of my lane, but I was more experienced than the other guys called to install them having worked IT for 10 years +).

Maybe next year, with a bit more advanced warning - I've got 3 little ones, and it's a long drive from Rosharon for them.

I did a short dependent's-tour-of-duty in Belton, TX while hubby was in 1st Cav.

Y'all have too many snakes and scorpions in that neck of the woods!

Been there, thank you.

It's a lot of fun to stroll into the Intel section of the 3 Corps TOC in civies and see all the strange looks from the LTC staff types.

It's almost worth the trip.
