My older, wiser brother was Class of 1965 U.S. Merchant Marine Academy, Kings Point, New York.

He sailed for a time thereafter delivering ammunition to Vietnam.

I have shoveled some files but cannot unearth a few notes from him at the time.

From memory, they would anchor offshore and be offloaded from there to avoid attacks.

During shore leave they would avoid bars without antigrenade mesh. He commented that a shoeshine boy or a newsboy might have a bomb in his shoeshine kit or paper bag.

In reading Mark Berent, Rolling Thunder, and Stephen Coonts, Flight of the Intruder, it became apparent how LBJ's micromanaging of target lists lost the war being otherwise won.

Kerry did his part leading the fifth column in CONUS. Beyond this veil of tears thousands of better men wait patiently to welcome him--see the Patrick Swayze Demi Moore film GHOST for details of that homecoming.

Despite rain Kerry volunteers continue canvassing unabated.

Not shown: Kerry leaving with three bandaids and a bag of Whoppers.

The Foxhole is the first to be advised I have ordered the attacks on Teheran, Damascus and center mass of Yassir Arafat to begin in five minutes.

And now to clear up the mystery surrounding John F. Twinkie's retreat from accepting the nomination of the french communist party:

As badly as I may have wanted off ship for a time I would have been very nervous going on shore leave. We are grateful for your brother's service in the Merchant Marine.

Whatever is up J F Twinkie's sleeve I await rejoicing in the streets to the dems loss in 04. Please oh, please let it be so.

Morning Phil Dragoo.

I can only hope Kerry gets the "Ghost" welcome home. HE sure deserves it.

The Foxhole is the first to be advised I have ordered the attacks on Teheran, Damascus and center mass of Yassir Arafat to begin in five minutes.

LOL! Reagan defeated the one Evil Empire without the bombing, I don't believe we can defeat the new Evil Empires the same way.

Do you have any detail as to the location of that aerial photograph you posted at #62?
