I used to always drink Bud but I just lost the taste for it and I
don't like the heavy beers.
I drink Busch if I can't find PBR or Coors.

not bad, but it's not a hot conversation topic. It doesn't get much of

You must have had some of that crap they had from the Phillipines in
SEA.

San Miguel I think it was called? Had to strain it before you drank
it to get the crunchy bits out? :)
Well, yes. Actually I'd drink about anything that had an alcohol
content. Luckily, I had an Engineer company with dump trucks and a
First Sergeant who was a wheeler-dealer, and a Post Exchange at Cu Chi
that was always needing laterite for its swampy parking lot. So we
always had free beer and enough steaks for a Friday cookout.

Times were good.


For you maybe...while the real soldiers were out crawling through the
jungle getting shot at.
How does that make you feel Donny. Your friends and neighbors went to war
for you and some didn't come back.

Went to war for me?? I don't recall asking anyone to do such a thing.




Indeed. Flajim probably thinks the North Vietnamese were going to invade
Calgary and Orange County, California, after recovering fron generations
of French colonialism, and Japanese and American imperialism.

Ah yes - the military barter system.

Next time we get together, we'll have to swap stories about First
Shirts and swapping for beer, steaks and potatoes.

Our guy actually managed to get real country eggs flowen in for a
steak and egg breakfast one time. *:)

Still don't know how he did that one.

I did one myself once - courtesy of my Dad who worked a deal with some
big cheese at Polaroid who had a son in my company. *And we had a kid
whose Dad ran a seafood company out of Galveston, TX. *

Oh the stories. *:)

I could tell you about the combat-lossed immersion heater that got
swapped to the Air Force guys for my three-hour ride in an OV-10A
Bronco, but then I'd have to shoot you.

First Sergeants make the world go around.

Thank you!

When i think of combatant warriors, for some odd reason I think of
Lacy J. Dalton singing the origional version of "16th Avenue."

From the corners of the country
From the cities and the farms
With years and years of living
Tucked up underneath their arms

They walk away from everything
Just to see a dream come true
So God bless the boys who make the noise
On 16th Avenue

With a million dollar spirit
And an old flattop guitar
They drive to town with all they own
In a hundred dollar car

‘Cause one time someone told them
About a friend of a friend they knew
Who owns, you know, a studio
On 16th Avenue

Now some were born to money
They’ve never had to say “Survive”
And others swing a 9 pound hammer
Just to stay alive

There’s cowboys drunks and Christians
Mostly white and black and blue
They’ve all dialed the phone collect to home
From 16th Avenue

Ah, but then one night in some empty room
Where no curtains ever hung
Like a miracle some golden words
Rolled off of someone’s tongue

And after years of being nothing
They’re all looking right at you
And for a while they’ll go in style
On 16th Avenue

It looked so uneventful
So quiet and discreet
But a lot of lives where changed
Down on that little one way street

‘Cause they walk away from everything
Just to see a dream come true
So God bless the boys who make the noise
On 16th Avenue

Anybody who has ever had a Dixie pretty much agree. It's like the
beer world's version of the soda world's Moxie.

You had to aguire a taste for it.
