Allegra,

Thanks and glad you're safe. BTW Nettles is single, about 6' tall, has a law degree, and is a Texan. You might want to say hi before you leave. ;-)

IMO this isn't a vanity. Thanks for posting.

Thanks. I had to retry 3 times to get it to post and forgot to add Vanity the last time. I guess they let you get away with that if you only post one thread every 3 years or so! ;-)

A friend of mine worked for Bently on that campaign

Who's your friend? I worked on that campaign and know most of them.

Oh, really? :-) I'll be passing through that base on my way out in December and passing back through on my way back in again in January.

Unfortunately, it's a huge base with LOTS of troops. You can't really hook up with someone unelss it's prearranged. Another FReeper and I are trying to meet and say "hey" during my pass-through.

Thanks Tom.

A very powerful story. I have a brother who is doing the same job as Seitz, so I freaked out when this story was first reported. Thank you, and feel free to post more like this.

Thanks, I've never posted a thread because I find if I just wait a little while someone else will do it and never thought I had anything important enough to post a vanity.
