"Battle Hymn of the River Rats". Dick Jonas wrote this song while flying to the first "practice" stateside reunion of the Red River Valley Fighter Pilots' Association ("Red River Rats") in 1969. The Red River Rats are pilots who flew combat missions across the Red River in North Vietnam. They held "practice" reunions in Thailand and the United States until the POW's came home in 1973, when the first real reunion was held. Other units have adapted this song for themselves, notably the Ravens, who flew forward air control in the secret war in Laos.

Did you see my post to SB about just kidding about having a 'Canteen gals retreat' with no guys. I was waiting to see who would be the first to 'howl' about being excluded.

It wouldn't be as much fun without you guys, so of course we wouldn't exclude y'all.
