Hey Jonn,

Just wanted to let you know I'm thinking about you and your "anniversary" old friend.

May God help you to get through these days of "remembrance" of that difficult time 11 years ago.

Trust me, as the years go by, it does get better---it'll never go away---but, it will get better.

God Bless you and all the hero's of Desert Storm!!

Your friend,

Glad your son got to come on leave for a while. Tell him we're proud of him and his contributions to the effort to rid the world of terriorism!

Don't worry old friend---I wouldn't vote for Reno for "dogcatcher"---much less Governor!!

I'll do all I can to see that she OR Jeb don't get elected!!


Best to you and yours,

Yer right, Mortardude. Poor Gimpy is a Conservative who wouldn't pull a lever for a Republican if RE Lee his'sef told Gimpy to do it. Looks like he's in the right state to be a confused voter.

Hey ABN, just wanted to know if you are ready to re-up for the coming attraction in Iraq. I was there next to you 11 years ago with 1st cav.

Last night i was watching that policticly correct Hardball with chris whateverhisnameis and they were actually arguing whether or not we should invade Iraq. Hard to believe they would not let us finish it 11 years ago. I guess as time goes by i start to understand some of what our veit nam brothers went through. Keep the faith brother.

Godspeed and keep low!

...Dear ABN CIB, You, and yours did not recieve the recognition that you deserve as most of the public only saw the Gulf War as 100 days of American might, and hi tech camera guided missles...
... Little do they know the amount of support that is needed to complete any mission,...
... and god bless the idiots that jump out of a perfectly good aircraft hanging from something a spider shits out to preserve what this great nation still, and will always offer...FREEDOM...
... I still think of Michael Speicher quite often as being the only pilot I believe still missing from the Gulf War since I have an attachment to pilots after working on the egress systems...
...Your a one of a kind, as most true Veterans can say..."C"...
...

Well, Gimpy, if you run, I might move down there and he'p ya. We might not win, but we can sure have some fun. I hope you'll lower the cigarette tax and liquor tax right off. Everything else can wait.

Default Yes!

Rotate your ammo!

Martini's are dry and wonderful down here this time of the year. We have a drought going on so I'm conserving water and having more "tuni's". No golf yet, but the Doc says I can start playing. Trying to get appointment with my pro down in (yech!) Hilton Hell so she can help me work on a new swing to go with a new hip.

Hope all is going well with you and really is great to see you back on site!

Airborne!
