Something cool that Xerox is doing ... Please take a moment to go to

tons
to be thankful for during the holiday season. Wouldn't it be wonderful
of
each of our soldiers (and Marines, of course) received a bunch of

If you go to this web site, www.LetsSayThanks.com you can pick out a
thank
you card. Then Xerox will print it and send it to a soldier
currently serving in Iraq .

You can't pick out who gets it, but it will go to some member of the
armed
services.

Have a super day!

I guess I missed your comments in the "Our Marine" supporting my son and
his accomplishment.

Please check the thread again, you missed mine.
and mine.


I guess so.



Is that the best humble apology you can do?


He said 'sorry' about four messages ago.

Oh, that was to someone else.

Take it.

I just talked to my SIL to give him some personal support. He's
leaving for Iraq early next month. Army infantry.
I don't know if this will apply to your son if he gets sent there,
but my SIL has been pretty sick the last 6 weeks or so with smallpox
and anthrax vaccinations. The anthrax is six vaccinations.
Basically, he has to keep his distance from other people, no kissing,
hugging, etc.
Since he's biologically active, and my daughter is still radioactive
from thyroid cancer treatment, they have their own little WMD deal
going in their apartment. They are probably more f**king dangerous
than Saddam ever was.
If your son is going to get vaccinations, give him a hug first.

I was hoping for a nice thick serving of humble pie.


If you're really hungry, I'll be doing two turkeys this year.

Johnson's idiotic war in Vietnam didn't make a lot of sense to me
either, but I went anway. Hell, I volunteered.

And know what? If I had to do it all over again, I wouldn't change a
thing.


Agreed!
I'd still go on that last mission even though I got my **** scattered.
Hell, how many chances does a dozen guys get to kick a Battalions ass.
Em well, hold out against them anyway. :o)

PS...I would move back about ten feet to the other side of the stone

Yeah, that's what I'd want to do...go to the other side of the world to
kill people I don't know who live in a country that neither attacked nor
threatened us.

Harry, would that have included Germany 65 yr's ago, or so?

That is, if you were old enough?

I hear you. I might rethink hitting the deck in that particular
location again - maybe a few feet to the left might have been a better
idea.

ROTFL!!!

I know what that's about, but the way you phrased it is pretty damn
funny.

Good luck to him.

Maybe my memory is going, but didn't you once say you served in
Vietnam in some capacity?
