Truly great story! Thanks for making this "redneck" feel good while signing off tonight. Your son and yourself are true patriots! You're fitting in here like a Red, White, and Blue flag in a Fourth of July Parade!

One of my Corps brothers was French. He got tired of struggling to make a living there and signed on a tramp steamer - worked his way across to Canada. Worked as a waiter in Montreal, until he met an American family willing to take him across the border as one of their family. When they reached New York he went to a Marine Corps recruiter and signed on. He served at the siege of KheSanh and got blown up. For his service he was awarded American citizenship. He's one of the hardest working, truest bluest Americans I know. We could use more like him. One of my uncles was 101st Airborne in Normandy, was surrounded by the SS at Bastogne, and was with them when they smashed their way into Germany and liberated a death camp. We real proud of him. |

First, thanks yall! There are a fewer good folks in europe, and france, than it used to be. But there are still a few true allied of the US. They're usually stay quiet because they're the minority over there. Most of them left already, like I did. Anyway, back to honoring our vets, which is more important. I want to thank everyone who served and still serve here. Yall are the greatest! |

It's ok! I plan to kill a monster bull or huge cow in Colorado anyway! I'll get there before to long. Maybe after I retire? Maybe I'll give up the Colorado hunt one year to head to NM? I'll get there!! glad to see you made it here!!! I have not received any emails from you in a while I figured you lost my email address in the move. |
