I really do love all the pics.

It is funny that I had not considered that they would have a PX over there. I am sitting here thinking that everyone is living on MREs and giving each other haircuts.

Sometimes you forget.

One time my unit was out in the Field and we were just living in the Bivouac area. So there I am "out in the Field" and don't you know a Canteen truck shows up. Everyone was buying hot dogs and sodas. I was gleeful that I was able to get a copy of "the Stars and Stripes."

I know that it defeated the purpose of the excercise, but I sure was glad to get my hands on that paper. My C.O. was pissed. He chased that driver away, but I still got to keep my newspaper!

I am glad that the Volunteers over there have that little taste of Home.

You're welcome. I know how you felt about the paper, My mom would would send me the local paper whenI was in Vietnam, the news was a week or more old but it was so great to hear anything from back home. Everyone would would pass around whatever papers they received, we were so hungry for any "Back home" news or anything that reminded us of home.
