Default Been Lurking too long

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.

Welcome to the PF Doc ..... I always thought that the 7th Cav was the Garry Owens unit.
