Wow! What a graphic!

[MistyCA]

Isn't it amazing how time has flown by? thanks so much for your service. I hope to see you here often.

[MistyCA]

Oh, my! What a shot!

[MistyCA]

I like the dress uniforms. We have several sets of the jungle fatiques from Vietnam. They didn't wear the blue over there much.

[nicollo]

Great story! I'm glad you've recorded it. Your uncle shall live on in your tapes. Wonderful!

(This, too, is a uniquely American concept.)

[Jen]

I think we need some music in here.

Thank you for your excellent coverage of the air heroics which won WWII.

As a whippersnapper I built models of them all, B-17, B-24, P-51, P-38, P-47.

The gun films of strafing runs on the German locomotives are classics.

At ten a friend's dad at Naval Avionics Indianapolis brought home a bombsight which was fascinating.

Now the neighbors here in New Mexico are developing the Airborne Laser.

It will soon be time to burn the shiite out of the Sunni bully of Baghdad.

He will learn that a Bunker Buster is not a dessert at Dairy Queen.

Tuition at the ivy-covered brain drains is wasted--the graduate courses at the Foxhole are the wave of the future.

I am lucky that my uncle doesn't mind recounting his war stories. The older he is, the more important it seems for him to share them. When I was a child I can remember getting into the photos at my grandmother's house (where I am with my uncle now) and seeing some very graphic pictures of WW2 that he had taken. Of course I would ask about them, but little was ever said. Now the pictures are much easier to get to and he will talk about them to anyone who asks.

[MistyCA]

Thanks for the music! Great song!

[MistyCA]

LOL!

That's alcohol abuse!!! hahahaha

Just one more reason I hate Skwerls!

[MistyCA]

I love that graphic!

[Jen]

Gosh thanks Phil! Sam does terrific work on the material for these threads, I just pretty them up a bit.

My hubby is also a scale modeler who prefers to build aircraft. He has dozens that he has built, and several hundred kits that he intends to build 'someday'. ;-)

[MistyCA]

Jen.....I am going to go to bed now! See you tomorrow! :)

[Jen]

I'm going to bed now too so I can get up and post the ping list by 9 a.m. Yawn! Good night everyone. Thanks for making it a great day in the Foxhole.

[SAMWolf]

I thank you for your service jokar. What years were you in Phouc Vinh?

You're right, it's hard to believe we were ever that young.

[SAMWolf]

It's your favorite aircraft.

My favorite JET aircraft, LOL.

[Marobe]

Tex- Thanks for sharing that story of brave young men becoming brave older men.
Sam- Where's that tissue box ? ?
