Good idea, Sarge.
If more did as you asked?
They *might* just find it a lot easier to NEVER FORGET, too.

...Lt. Col. HAL G. MOORE's .."BROKEN ARROW".. was just as chilling when 1st heard by us at LZ Falcon in the -Valley of Death- known as the IA DRANG of November 1965...
To: ALOHA RONNIE
Great! I can't wait to see it.
To: Landru; VaBthang4
...Actually it was ..Vabthang4... who pressed me into doing it and all I had to do was FIGURE OUT how to do it.
...So I printed out the Threads and Websites I wanted to post links to ..to get the Link Address from the top of the Print Page ..then type it out by hand.
...I guess you might say I did it the "Old Fashioned Way"..?

Oi...what a putz. You have no idea what I have experienced so save the noncombat condescension.

Complaining about "chairwarming SOB's who knew nothing of combat" was always a favorite way to pass the time.

...We of CUSTER's U.S. 7th Cavalry Regiment say .."GARRY OWEN, Sir".. when we salute each other rather than the normal greeting because we are CUSTER's .."GARRY OWEN".. Regiment.
...THOMAS MOORE (Amazing...?) wrote the lyrics to this Irish Song .."GARRY OWEN".. that Gen. CUSTER first overheard the Irish Members of his 7th Cav Troop playing and singing, liked it and left it in.
.."GARRY OWEN".. is now the Regimetnal Song for the entire 1st Cavalry Division, a most familiar tune.
GARRY OWEN, Sir

RONNIE, I just finished watching the movie on DVD with my youngest son. We took our time, absorbing it over 3 nights. It's an incredible film about incredible Americans. The DVD also has deleted scenes that are just as fascinating to watch, along with behind the scenes footage from the director/actors/authors' point of view. Every American from 16 on up should see this movie and be proud to know that American men fought and died for each other, are doing so now, and will continue to do so.
