To: Kathy in Alaska

Glad to help.

Somebody posted a picture of a P-38. Wow, seeing that was like stepping in to the Time Tunnel! We used to call them John Waynes, and when the great man passed on we started calling them Dead Dukes.

There is a whole generation of fighting men and women who have probably never seen one. Now I know how my father felt when I asked him what those funny ice tongs in his garage were used for.

BTW, while my dad was a WWII POW there was a dog in the camp called “D-Bar” after a fortified chocolate bar they used to get in the K rations. I wonder if there are any pets named after MRE components? “Ham Slice,” “Country Captain” and “Cocoa Beverage Powder” just don’t have the same ring to it as “D-Bar,” do they?

Happy Eats, Canteen!
