...Further Blessed was I to be able to go over to General HARRY W.O. KINNARD, our 1st Air Cav Commanding Officer, after our IA DRANG-1965 Dinner to personally thank him for greeting and thanking us back to our Division Base Camp to An Khe in November 1965 for our Victory at IA DRANG. (Slide Taken)

...This man, of "NUTS" at Bastogne Fame in World War II, just blushed and melted before my very eyes from being thank himself.

...America, such a Wonderful Country.

...Further Blessed was I to be able to go over to General HARRY W.O. KINNARD, our 1st Air
Cav Commanding Officer ...This man, of "NUTS" at Bastogne Fame in World War II,
just blushed and melted before my very eyes from being thank himself.

For the younger lurkers...and any WWII-lore enthusiasts who (like myself) hadn't
heard of General Kinnard:

At 11:30 a.m. December 22, four German soldiers - two officers and two enlisted men -
under a white flag delivered a note to three American soldiers. The note demanded the
"honorable surrender" of Bastogne. McAuliffe, reading the message, laughed and murmured,
"Aw, nuts!" As the general wondered how to answer, his aide Lt. Colonel Harry W. O. Kinnard
suggested: "That first remark of yours would be hard to beat."
So McAuliffe sent the Germans a one-word reply in writing, and "Nuts" became legend.

When ALOHA RONNIE tells you he knows some famous historical figure...don't doubt it!
