We used to piss off our Platoon SGt by yelling "We blow shit up" everytime we fell into formation, we were supposed to yell "High Angle Hell".

Honor our defenders is the motto of the Foxhole.











Good morning Snippy.




Thirty years from now when you're sitting around
your fireside with your grandson on your knee,
and he asks you, What did you do in the great World War Three?
You won't have to say Well I shovelled sh!t over at DU.
No, sir, you will be able to tell him I fought like hell from the Foxhole,
and we went through Kerry and the Huns like crap through a goose.

Thanks for all your work. The threads have been great. I like your picture in front of Multnomah Falls, too.

Oh No!

I always look forward to my Foxhole ping A lot of great work there. Learned about a number of things I did not know about. And more of things I did. You were a great teller
of history.

If you don’t mind. Some time I’ll get a FoxHole thread together for you. I have a few here that I could do.

On Purpose

Read:
Genesis 50:15-21

All things work together for good . . . to those who are the called according to His purpose. —Romans 8:28

Bible In One Year: Haggai 1-2, Zechariah 1-2

When a cowboy applied for an insurance policy, the agent asked, "Have you ever had any accidents?" After a moment's reflection, the applicant responded, "Nope, but a bronc did kick in two of my ribs last summer, and a couple of years ago a rattlesnake bit me on the ankle."

"Wouldn't you call those accidents?" replied the puzzled agent. "Naw," the cowboy said, "they did it on purpose!"

That story reminds me of the biblical truth that there are no accidents in the lives of God's children. In today's Scripture, we read how Joseph interpreted a difficult experience that had seemed like a great calamity. He had been thrown into a pit and then sold as a slave. This was a great test of his faith, and from the human standpoint it appeared to be a tragic case of injustice, not a providential means of blessing. But Joseph later learned that "God meant it for good" (Genesis 50:20).

Are you passing through the deep waters of trial and disappointment? Does everything seem to be going against you? These apparent misfortunes are not accidents. The Lord allows such things for a blessed purpose. So patiently trust Him. If you know the Lord, someday you will praise Him for it all! —Richard De Haan

What looks like just an accident
When viewed through human eyes,
Is really God at work in us—
His blessing in disguise. —Sper

God transforms trials into triumphs.

You flatter me, my friends. Thank you for allowing me to be a small part of the wondrous creation and testimony to our soldiers that the Foxhole is - and always will be.

You two are unabashedly, absolutely wonderful. Please - stay in touch with us!

FR is my favorite forum, the Foxhole my favorite part of it. God bless Sam and Snippy for the wonderful job they have done.
I have learned so much about our true heroes.

My Dad was one, by the way. A tanker, trained under Patton, 2nd Armored Division. Yet retrained in Amtracs and sent to the Pacific war. In the 24th Division in the Korean War. A soldier through and through.

Damn, I always meant to tell the story of my Dad on Guadacanal here. There's a lesson there about procrastination.

[GATOR NAVY]

Wow- I just got back from 2 weeks of underway, catching up on pings (mostly Foxholes) and I see this. Thanks for all the hard work you guys put into this. I didn't comment every day, but I read almost all of them and learned a lot in the process.
