Gunny you look exactly like My PaPa
Many moons ago Oct of 68 our Company got a new Gunny something's by about him was different the way he humped off that 34 towards us, the look in his Eyes was deep certain aura 'bout him.Couple weeks later Plt Sgt goes Jack you ain't going on this bughunt cause of that infected toe you got sticking outta that boot you cut the toe outta! I felt weird that I couldn't go with that Wolf pack next AM I'm filling sandbags and Gunny goes let's take 5 just him and I drinking some tiger pi$$ he shares w/me I look at him and say Gunny you look eXactly like my PaPa we shoot the breeze and come to find out He was at the Chosen frozen as a Grunt...the thing I remember most about the conversations was how he was raising some kids on his own,goes I have too be here so my kids can Eat! He's was killed on Meade River before S/Sgt Taylor was KIA when that Old timer died was the only time I have ever cried in my Life that and when I married Pattie in 2011...He was the Best of the Best !
