Good morning tomball. So the "sewing bee" made the cloth for the plane, neat!

Good morning Darksheare.

I take the book with me and hold it up so people can see the cover and appear to be reading it again.

Excellent plan. As soon as we can find a copy we'll do the same. We are the VRWC! heh heh heh

[snippy_about_it]

I see she's flying the blue navy jack. One of my favorite flags.

[snippy_about_it]

tomball this Kerry piece is excellent. We should print it and hand them out as flyers for freeping!

[SAMWolf]

Thanks for the link Valin.

[Professional Engineer]

the armed forces received invaluable training in "such significant developments as the 'invention' of dive bombing and large-scale aerial logistical support."

Doggone Jarheads get more admirable all the time. Ooo-Rah!

From Kerry's "The New Soldier":
Al Hubbard Sgt., 22 Troop Carrier Squadron Aug. ’65-June ’66

Emotions: Walking down the flight line at Saigon past stacks of aluminum cases containing American bodies and past stacks of aluminum luggage containing American currency. Seeing the tight, sad face of an Airman loading the bodies aboard a dirty Air Force Transport and the wide smiling face of a stewardess greeting the passengers aboard a clean Pan American Clipper Jet. Hearing a Vietnamese beg you to leave his country and an American colonel tells you to bomb his country. Hearing a Vietnamese invite you to live in his home, after the war and an American explain why you can’t live in his block, after the war. Flying over barren, brown, safe American held terrain and over lush, green unsafe enemy terrain. Feeling happy to be leaving a country in which you do not belong and sad to be returning to a country in which you are not allowed to belong. Sacrificing a portion of your consciousness so you won’t have to deal with being there and building mental blocks so you won’t have to deal with having been there.

- Al Hubbard, proven fraud who never set foot in Viet Nam. The only Vietnamese he ever met was when he was collaborating with the North Vietnamese in Paris
on the American Communist Party's nickel.
John Kerry's explanation: "He (Hubbard) simply exaggarated his particular position.
But nobody knew it at the time. And those things happen."

When I was mailing packages regularly to the Tarawa crew the mail clerk at the post office was a Marine and asked if I minded if he wrote a note on the box in Marine to Navy style. LOL. I didn't and he did. The Tarawa crew got a kick out of it and I would tell the postal clerk their response and it became a "tradition" when I mailed the packages.

Very interesting thread.

OK, I'm sure Kerry was in Nicaragua doing black ops for the Marines. My only question is if he got one of those way cool campaign hats for his "happy hat"?

[snippy_about_it]

Was he in Nicaragua before or after he was in Cambodia? LOL.

[colorado tanker]

Both, of course.

[Aeronaut]

Hey Sam.

[Professional Engineer]

You have to love the Marines sense of history and pride in their tradition.

I've been doing some "what if'n" lately. My consolation is that since I stayed at the same duty station for 8 years, I was able to do a truckload of night classes.
