The only time I was ever at Fort Gordon was in 1970.
We trained on assaulting a full scale viet-namese village.
Completely authentic, other than for the pine tress.

Not feeling well today. Put a call in to my Dr. - she came in expressly to see me - put me on Cefdenir.
Needless to say, I am most impressed and grateful that she would do so. She could have just told me to go to the ER. The ER is not a place that is hospitable to me - with my COPD, anytime I show up there they want to keep me.

God rest his father’s soul.
We thank him for his service.
The little boy looks like he might be wearing a tiny Marine uniform.

He is indeed wearing a Marine uniform. From the article, it appears that his father died from a non-combat injury. The article was pretty skimpy on details - it didn't give the boy's name, although it gave the name of his father.
To me, this laying of flowers at ANC was of far greater moment than the ceremony that took place at the Tomb Of The Unknowns today. This was a sincere tribute - this child truly mourned the loss of his father. I'll prescind from comment on the other.
May our Heavenly Father gather our Valiant Fallen in His Healing Embrace for ever and ever!

Lord, I was born a ramblin’ man,
Tryin’ to make a livin’ and doin’ the best I can.
And when it’s time for leavin’,
I hope you’ll understand,
That I was born a ramblin’ man.
My father was a gambler down in Georgia,
And he wound up on the wrong end of a gun.
And I was born in the back seat of a Greyhound bus
Rollin’ down highway 41.

Good even’, Kathy ...((HUGS))... Liked it but the troops had some nasty manes for it.
I look like, I was in a Saber Duel with a Prussian Baron and lost.
Feel good though.

Then a big thanks is due your Dr for seeing you today...your track record with the ER hasn’t been terrific.
Hope the new meds work, and swiftly.

Ah, yes...Ft. Gordon. I was there for a brief time in 1983 while I did my AIT as a 05B-Radio Operator. It was nice while I was down there, and I left there just as the Masters was beginning. (I remember being at the airport in Augusta and seeing Arnold Palmer’s private jet.)
Only went into downtown Augusta ONE time...and once was enough.
