I have enjoyed this thread, as I too, have much interest in that which is difficult to understand or comprehend rationally or without physical proof. Just as being a Christian requires faith based on belief, not necessarily with overwhelming tangible evidence. I do believe in the spirit world, if for no other reason then I am very in touch with ghosts and demons from Viet-Nam, both the good and the evil have haunted me for over 43 years. I also know that when I was in Viet-Nam, I carried a letter with me at all times that my Dad, a retired USMC Sgt.Major and veteran of WW II, Korea and Viet-Nam, had written to me when I was ordered to Nam and that on more than one occasion, when times were really bad and all looked lost, I reread this letter and asked myself, what would Dad do in this situation. I know, long after the fact, that the spirit of my Dad was with me and that he was in no small way responsible for some of the decisions and actions that influenced my survival. I saw good and brave men that did everything right die horrible untimely deaths and I saw some cowards and ****birds who deserved to die and who were avoided like the plague rotate home without a scratch. Such is life and I am a firm believer in both the afterlife and the world of mystery that most of us reside in presently. Sorry if this post of mine doesn't belong in this thread but that's the way I am, I speak up when something triggers in me the desire to be heard, then back to the usual silence and reflection.... the bunker calls me again.
Semper Fi, Scott

Scott - No need to apologize I appreciate that you enjoyed the thread and I also appreciate the history between you and your father who was a Sgt Maj. in the USMC. That in itself demands respect. Thanks for the reply my brother.

I was in Gitmo during the refugee years around 94 to 97 I believe and we stayed in refrigeratored morgues for our hooches and I had some of the scariest real dreams I have ever had. The scutllebutt was that these were used in Vietnam, I for one hope that those souls were able to find peace.
Cpl Heglar, I wish the best for you and your family, I will say a prayer tonight for you all.
