Been Lurking too long

[urbsdad6]

Just wanted to put in my two cents worth and get started assosciating with some of you. I probably drive DMZ LT nuts with all my emails of the political ills of today, but I find myself wanting to start living and being involved again and that's my outlet. Airborne medic Dec 70-Jan 72. Served with the 1st CAV 1/5 CAV Echo Recon, 101st 1/501st Infantry, Echo Recon and HHC in the aid station toward the end of my tour. Frank Skokan aka "Torch" was one of the guys that took care of me out in the bush and I miss him. But it's time to move on. At this point in my life I'm disabled from some chronic health problems, soon to be 55, just generally pissed at the condition of our country and the lack of understanding of many people that can't see that Oklahoma and 9/11 were setups to get us riled up against the "terrorist" threat that exists in the mind of CIA. Not to say that real terroists don't exist, but hey opinions are like noses and everyone is entitled to one. Many of you are like heroes to me because you deal with the past and move on. That's been hard for me, but like Torch told DMZ LT and he in turn told me "Baby steps Doc, baby steps". Hopefully I can get out some of my old pictures and post them for posterity. Thanks for all of you being here.

ALWAYS GOOD TO HAVE MEDIC'S AROUND. YOUR NOT ALONE SO STICK AROUND . I DIDN'T SEE ANY OF THE "PSYCO VET" REPLIES, BUT I'M AN OFFICAL ASSOICIATE MEMBER. I SEE YOU ON THE WEST COAST AND I HAVE CONNECTIONS OUTSIDE THE PATRIOT FILES SO SAY THE WORD . AND AS FOR "CATMAN" HE WAS BORN THE SAME MONTH I GOT DRAFTED AND I JUST NOTICED IN 91 I WAS BEING RELEASE FROM PRISON JAN 16 1991 HE WAS BUILDING SAND CASTLE IN DESERT STORM SO HE'S AN OK TROOPER

Doc :

It is nice to have a kindred spirit around, and one who does not accept everything the Federal Government says as the truth.

May God Bless,

Been thinking about Frank and you today Doc . Thank You . Don't go along with your political stuff , but you served with the best. Thank you again. Peace Brother.

[urbsdad6]

Thanks LT! You and Frank are always hangin around my head. As far as my beliefs we can always agree to disagree. Don't mean nuthin between friends. I just don't feel like I have politics in mind when I talk about the stuff that I do. I wish everyone could just get over the politics issue and look at what is really happening in America. Oh, well gotta be a pain in the @ss somwhere.

Peace to you to,

Doc Urb
