You’d think that Hitler would have used gas towards the end, especially on the Russian Front. I guess it’s the first case of the MAD theory in action.

LOL. I’m thinking...you just finished your taxes and now you’re going out to dinner. Are you celebrating or drowning your sorrows? :-)

Hi Humal. I keep saying I’m going to try and do more here but lo and behold I brought home my laptop tonight and have work to do after hours. I am stopping in for a minute though. :-)

Hi PzLdr. I was reading about this in Day of Battle the continuation of Army at Dawn and it was the first I had heard of it. Of course I understand why nothing could be said but I wish the medical folks could have recognized it for those there that day. Sad.

Sure do miss you guys.

Have you seen this? http://abcnews.go.com/WNT/PersonOfWeek/story?id=2845247&page=1

There is a video clip that goes with this that is really moving, but I don’t know how to forward it.

That’s a great story. Our older veterans have made sure our youngest don’t get forgotten. God Bless them all.

Regular Foxholes. LOL. Don’t count on it. Funny thing, ever since we got married we have lives now. Even if it is just sitting around on the back porch after work watching the birds and the dogs. :-)

We miss all y'all too. There just aren't enough hours in the day anymore. The Foxhole is still our home and we may not be here everyday but we think about it and our Foxhole family everyday.

Snippy,
I found the video on YouTube: Bert Brady of the “Welcome Home A Hero” program. It brought tears. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ud1Bk3Ns-E

“There just aren’t enough hours in the day anymore.”

I understand this perfectly! We only thought we were busy when we were working. Retirement is twice as busy!

Howdy all. Good to find the foxhole once again and see all you fine folks.

Still don’t have internet, just borrow it a couple of times a week.

However, I do have lots of plant children that take up most of my time so I’m living my dream life nowdays. :-)
