I was in my living room in US Navy Housing(Murphy Canyon)in San Diego. I had just gotten back from the last of the real Cold War WestPacs(USS Carl Vinson-CVN-70). I was attached to VF-111 Sundowners(F-14a/TARPS). I was SO pround that my country had FINALLY KILLED the Viet Nam era thing.

I was with Lyndon LaRouche viewing CNN in a television room at the Federal Medical Center, Rochester, Minnesota. Ah, the good old days... NOT!

I believe I was at work. I remember all of the yellow ribbons and flag pins everyone was wearing. It was somewhat surreal, knowing what was happening so far away. I remember being so proud of our brave military.

I was on USS St Louis (LKA-116) at Subic for REFTRA. I think we were the only forward deployed Seventh Fleet ship that didn’t go the Gulf.

I was checking my class material for US Army Sergeant Major Academy. I had two large shipments of books and reading material when the wife came and told me to come watch the news.

Sadly, I was just a civilian, but I was there in spirit.

A friend of mine (we were roommates in high school) is a retired Marine (a colonel) wrote this on Monday, his birthday, on his Facebook page:

"Tonite I toast the boys of TF Shepherd. 20 years since we rolled North to the Kuwaiti border. Best birthday I ever had. It was an honor rolling with every one of you.

Semper Fi brothers"

The initial Kuwait invasion by Iraq occured as I was leading a Boy Scout High Adventure group off into the Boundry Waters. When we returned to civilization’s media coverage ten days later, the UN resolution had been pushed through by GHWB and we awaited the confrontation that was to come about 20 years ago this month.

I had CNN on, Bernard Shaw was in Baghdad but not on the air; suddenly the fill-in (I don’t remember who it was) said that Shaw was hollering in his earpiece to come to him, NOW. Shaw and his colleague shot the scene out the hotel window, the triple-A and various US bomb detonations in the city.

I was stationed in Japan, at FEN-Tokyo, and I worked the overnight shift at the radio station. We had a TV monitor in the studio and I had the TV on all night and watched it inbetween spinning records.
