They are "uglying-up" my language!

Read an article online this morning about a man who was reunited with a wallet he lost in 1944! Made me wonder.

Frenchy, I was with 3rd Recon a couple of years before you, in Bravo Company. There is an active 3rd Recon Association where i'm sure someone will recognize your name.

Makes me shiver to remember it.

The personnel in dress uniforms were only at one hole, which was designated to honor service in the military. It was a good thing.

Earn the right to wear the EGA. That should be honor enough for the men in the photos.

Sweet! St. Louis is my home town, where I grew up.

I too stopped listening to Rush and Hannity because I got tired of being mad all the time.

Here's a link to a review in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch of a novel about the "Vietnam experience" written by a man who was a platoon commander in 1st Battalion, 4th Marines. The author's name is...
