My FR handle is in honour of some relatives who served in the US Army Air Corps (later, US Army Air Force) during WWII.

Hard-core capitalist and conservative. I have a bunch of letters after my name indicating a variety of educational accomplishments.

I was born early enough in the 1970s to remember The Peanut Farming President and I idolised Reagan while I was young and now admire the man.
Proud 7th generation Texan.
The US Constitution and the Word of God are my guides.

I have traveled to Vietnam and greatly admire the people of the South. The communists may have "unified" the country,
but the Republic of Vietnam still exists in the heart and the spirit of south Vietnam. One day, it will be the south that liberates all of Vietnam.
