Our Mission: The FReeper Foxhole is dedicated to Veterans of our Nation's military forces and to others who are affected in their relationships with Veterans. In the FReeper Foxhole, Veterans or their family members should feel free to address their specific circumstances or whatever issues concern them in an atmosphere of peace, understanding, brotherhood and support. The FReeper Foxhole hopes to share with it's readers an open forum where we can learn about and discuss military history, military news and other topics of concern or interest to our readers be they Veteran's, Current Duty or anyone interested in what we have to offer. If the Foxhole makes someone appreciate, even a little, what others have sacrificed for us, then it has accomplished one of it's missions. We hope the Foxhole in some small way helps us to remember and honor those who came before us.

A nice pic of the US M2-2 Flamethrower taken in 2003 at the Gathering of Warbirds in Olympia WA, I think. Hat tip to Bill Proffit for the pic.
And what the heck as long as I can get the pic posting goodies to work a couple of nice drawings of one of my favorite WW-II Planes the Northrup P-61 Black Widow.
Sorry I do not remember the web site where I found these drawings.

Morning!
I still want a flamethrower.
Sam and I are barred from owning one, but NOT the plans to build one.
;-)
Of course if you find a Flamethrowe a little bulky to tote around you could try one of these with "Dragon Breath" shells

Yes, it is illegal to own a "flame weapon" if I recall.
(Sometimes a campfire will not light any other way though!)
Hmm.. Thanks for the link!

You know like stills were and are hidden in deep woods??
LOL
Oh my, thank you!
And a great day to you.

"Why is that woodchuck in dress slacks?" -husband
"The instructions said to 'dress woodchuck before cooking' so I did!" -wife
reminds me of a story from back home:::::>
a TX AGGIE went hunting one day in the woods. he came upon a clearing with a nubile miss, sunbathing as God made her.
he said, "are you game?".
she allowed that she was. so he shot her.
for non-TEXICANS out there, AGGIES are NOT known for their intelligence & sophistication, but they are easy to please!
