Just keep your hands away from me, Jen! :)

NO PROBLEM!

[SAMWolf]

hmmm! What to do, what to do?

[Jen]

Just so there is NO confusion...

Jen may have worn combat boots at one time...

But...

Jen is "ALL girl ALL the time"

The worst ever defeat at the hands of the Indian's was at Fort Recorvery, Ohio in 1783. Washington didn't hear of the defeat for nearly 5-months. 600 regular soldiers (the entire standing US Army after the continential army stand-down) marched out of Cincinnati Ohio past Dayton, Greenville and up what is now State Route 49 to the Walbash River Fork to attack an Indian village. The noisy white men, with accompanying 300 scouts, irregulars, and family members/camp followers numbered about 1500 people. My grandmother's farm holds the remains of many fallen, never buried soldiers.... I dug some up as an eight year old boy with grandfather in the bottom of the barn which has stood since 1814.... At my father's boyhood, farm they camped the night before the battle and there is a stone marker. In total, about 300 whites survived the slaughter. In 1792, Mad Anthony Wayne retook the field on the way to the Battle of the Fallen Timbers!

Custer married into the family via a sister-in-law, so I've always wondered if having passed the hollowed ground of another Indian defeat might have not influenced the other:)

Thanks for the information Jumper.

I've never heard of that event. Just goes to show, you can learn something new. Now that you've got me curious, I'll have to see what i can find and read about it.

Sarah Brady a Miss Universe? It boggles the mind...LOL

[Lizard_King]

thanks for the IA DRANG link...I thought that movie was fantastic...it would have been so easy to turn such a tough story into a Hollywood cliche, but they managed to avoid that somehow.

I can't imagine what it must have been like to have been in the depths of that...here's to hoping that America never forgets your sacrifices...

It boggles the mind
I suppose it would for those that have them. I gotrid of mine a while ago, I wasn't really using it so now I rent the space out to really smart people to keep their extra brain cells in. It helps pay the rent and the headaches have gone away

NEVER FORGET

...The Lesson that I learned from the Battle of IA DRANG-1965...

...is the same Lesson we all learned from the Attacks of September 11, 2001 =

...That there REALLY is such a thing as HATE in this World...

...and there REALLY are people who REALLY do HATE US out there.

...The Invading North Vietnaamese Communists wanted to FLATTEN US back in that Battle in the Valley of Death known as the IA DRANG of 1965...

...just like our new Enemies Within and Without want to FLATTEN US now.

...Don't you dare let them get away with it...

...like we of the U.S. 7th Cavalry didn't long, long ago.

NEVER FORGET

[Lizard_King]

That sounds like a plan...plus you get to eat ice cream much faster!

[Lizard_King]

...Don't you dare let them get away with it...

I think a significant portion of my generation still retains the courage of their convictions enough to act in their defense...My Marine OCS (round 2) date is October, now that I am graduating...I look forward to it, really.

But she is really a cute cat. LOL
I enjoy the work you and SAMWolf do for the Veterans.

...You and your Generation in the present day U.S. Military have my deepest respect...

...borne out of my direct experience in meeting the Men and Women now serving at Ft. Benning...

...when we IA DRANG-1965 Vets were there for our Preview Showing of .."WE WERE SOLDIERS"..

...a view not shared by those who would once again occupy the White House if they have their way.

...HILLARY RODHAM -&- BILL CLINTON have consistantly said that you and the Heroes of Sept. 11th are not their "Kind of People" because you all would not be voting for them.

...The Enemy is now Within...

...and always has been.
