At least there are a few of us out here who know what must be done. And Semper Fi to you.

I suspect my son will have the unpleasant job of retrieving dead and wounded from the field.Cheer up, with the training, equipment, leadersip and planning our troops have in place it will be only a few of our wounded and lots of their dead. In the desert heat the smell of death can be awfull. I understand a mother or a wife still worries. Your son is going to do just fine.

Kill the Sons, Daughters, Uncles, Aunts, nephews, cousins, inlaws, friends and ALL who profited by their "closeness" to Saddam and his thugs......... burn the Clan's entire home village to the ground, poison the wells and salt the earth...... and post signs declaring the destruction was delivered by Americans who will not tolerate tyrants who support terrorists targeted to kill our citizens or our allies citizens. ... Going a little "Biblical are we?

"Going a little "Biblical are we?" The militant Islamist bastards were correct in their observation that their actions have resurrected the Christian world to complete the "Crusades"....
It has simply been unfinished business....
The Christian world was happy enough to leave "well enough alone"..
The Islamists weren't..
Now they must pay the price for rubbing that lamp.....

Ever looked into Civilian Air Patrol (CAP) or Coast Guard Auxiliary?
To: A Navy Vet
I do work with the CAP regularly. Good group.

"I do work with the CAP regularly. Good group."
I joined the Coast Guard Auxiliary after 9/11, but my local Flotilla is down to one inoperative boat. Keep thinking about transferring to another, but I'm trying to do my part now with VetsCoR.

My parents wouldn't let me have a bike until I was 10. At that point, we had little money, so I found an old English 3-speed (Sturmey Archer hub style) for $10 in the paper. It had 26" wheels. I cleaned it up. That was the bike I used for the 50 mile rides. My sister was always the focus of better things. She was rewarded with a new 10-speed. C'est la vie. I have her old 10 speed today and she took my old 3-speed to sell at a garage sale.
My parents didn't give me an allowance. Instead, I had free access to the garden tools. The push mower was my primary source of income. Twenty five cents to mow the lawn. I could knock out 3 or 4 on a Saturday afternoon. The leaf rake was my friend in the fall. I managed $1 to rake all the leaves from a typical .25 acre lot (including bagging). Shoveling snow offered a little income during the two years in Springfield, VA. In Federal Way, WA, I used the axe to split and stack a cord of wood for the elderly folks. They usually paid me $2 for that.

Oops, forgot to mention, "good for you" working with CAP.

P.S. I'm a Navy vet, too. 1965-1969.

Thank you for the post and the ping.
In this hour of our country's history, we stand in the need of prayer. We pray for the families that have known recent loss. We pray for the men and women who serve around the world to defend our freedom. We pray for their families. We pray for wisdom to know and do what is right. And we pray for God's peace in the affairs of men.
- President George W. Bush , Feb. 6, 2003.

Yep, brings back old times. One particular snow fall I made $3 - $5 per home and thought I'd hit the motherlode. That was big money for me.
