The air was bad the night before Pancho Villa and his men raided the New Mexico border town of Columbus, or so the legend goes. One resident noticed “an inordinate number of strange Mexicans wandering the streets.” Locals had sighted Villa’s large party moving north from Mexico toward the town and warned leaders of the nearby U.S. Army post. The Army sent out a few extra patrols. Then everyone went to bed.http://www.patriotfiles.com/forum/iipcache/799629.png (http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/starsandstripes/militarylife?a=KVYcGwi4OOI:4foDs6rrky4:yIl2AUoC8zA ) http://www.patriotfiles.com/forum/iipcache/799630.png (http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/starsandstripes/militarylife?a=KVYcGwi4OOI:4foDs6rrky4:F7zBnMyn0Lo ) http://www.patriotfiles.com/forum/iipcache/799631.png (http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/starsandstripes/militarylife?a=KVYcGwi4OOI:4foDs6rrky4:V_sGLiPBpWU ) http://www.patriotfiles.com/forum/iipcache/799632.png (http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/starsandstripes/militarylife?a=KVYcGwi4OOI:4foDs6rrky4:qj6IDK7rITs ) http://www.patriotfiles.com/forum/iipcache/799633.png (http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/starsandstripes/militarylife?a=KVYcGwi4OOI:4foDs6rrky4:gIN9vFwOqvQ ) http://www.patriotfiles.com/forum/iipcache/799634.png (http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/starsandstripes/militarylife?a=KVYcGwi4OOI:4foDs6rrky4:QXVau8BzmBE )
