A Tribute To 68-69TonkinYatchClub

"I VOW to the 58,000 + Brothers and Sisters on The Viet Nam Wall who never came home and to those who died at home from injuries and from broken hearts. I will do everything I LEGALLY can to expose Hanoi Kerry once and for all. I will not tire, I will not falter, and I will not fail. I solemnly vow to do all I can to restore your honor until I give my last breath on earth."

Psalm 23

The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.

He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

Rest in peace, Tonk.

You’ll be missed.

[SandRat]

Let’s just say that I have a deep and abiding aversion to cold from it.

[Brad’s Gramma]

Ooops. Poor SandRat...

We Declare Your Majesty

No, not poor just very quickly got schmartz. Also imparted that lesson to my son so he can avoid the agony in his marriage as well. So far he’s shown that he listened.

Mostly Birch trees, The location does justice to those who served, and are in the view of Mt. McKinley, truly a beautiful spot for a memorial.

More Information on the memorial here...

[Radix]

I am considering the establishing of a web page that consists of historical stuff that I just simply like to reflect on.

I met a retired Physician a few days ago, and we had a nice chat.

He seemed to be a bit impressed with a few of my notions, and so I am now more motivated than ever.

Teaser:.....Galen was a Greek Physician who lived around the second century A.D. and was known as a Doctor for Roman Gladiators.

Galen actually performed eye surgery with a knife on more than a few of his patients. Fascinating stuff.

Would you like to know more?

Have you got “Just a Closer Walk with Thee”?

[eyedigress]

He's not a Barber is he?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Let me see it I have it loaded. I’m at work, so can’t load anything from here.

[eyedigress]

Thanks, It was used in the Newman film from 68’ (Cool Hand Luke), it is a thoughtful song.

You likely already know that the symbolic history of the Barber Shop Pole is not without some depth.

 

 

The modern barber pole originated in the days when bloodletting was one of the principal duties of the barber.  The two spiral ribbons painted around the pole represent the two long bandages, one twisted around the arm before bleeding, and the other used to bind is afterward.  Originally, when not in use, the pole with a bandage wound around it, so that both might be together when needed, was hung at the door as a sign.  But later, for convenience, instead of hanging out the original pole, another one was painted in imitation of it and given a permanent place on the outside of the shop.  This was the beginning of the modern barber pole.

[eyedigress]

Blood in, Blood out, and a bandage. Would you like me to trim the lashes Sir?

[Radix]

Shave and a haircut, two bits!

[Radix]

Special Purpose Marine Air Ground Task Force 24 debark from the Pearl Harbor and land with all their vehicles and gear on the beach in Ancon, Peru June 15. From there they are off to Ancon Infanteria de Marina where they will train with Peruvian military forces in Partnership Of the Americas 2007, an annual exercise used to promote regional stability and enhance cooperation with partner nations.

 

Mojo2001 was nowhere to be found when it came to unloading the latest batch of HMMVs from the NAVY transport vessels.
