I will bring a single burner stove for those who don't want to budget 4-5 bucks at the chow hall. I never ate better than last time. I vote for at least 2 meals there!

Sharlene will be dirty, but flirty nonetheless, as most of you already know ( she needs a powder). I will also bring an extra tent and equip for those who draw short sticks for the tent. There will be a tent heater. Please bring 1 or 2 bags of Kingsford edge brickettes for the heater. It will stay toasty if we plan logistics. And lastly, perhaps we can chow hall for some good food?

Thanks, Victor. I will put this to use. I think everyone should be able to get something from your thread. I think we should all take a moment to do some basic stretching before we go out to the battle. Even if its next to our bunks before we don the field gear.

Are they looking for psycho-alien-zombie shock troops, like me, who incidentally, like to kill Nazis ( Social Democrats )?? Only for fun, on camera, and for a salary, of course. Just don't get behind any trees Bob.. ;D Wow. Cops just have minds/bodies like elephants! They don't forget anything!! ;D P.S. It's good to hear from you, Brother. Keep your chin (s) up! Never let the bastards keep you down ( I forgot the latin version, dead language anyway ).

I agree with Sgt. Burgess. However, remember that Germans are subjects ( and only 20% of their country's population ) while we are citizens of the U.S.A., with dwindling, fleeting, personal rights, true, and yet...they are still here...for now.

I can't believe I didn't post earlier.
I re-enact for the chance to crack the door and barely glimpse into the Long House of Valhalla and hear the echo of deeds of bravery and tales of glory. For a chance to continue my life-long pursuit: to learn about sacrifice and brotherhood.
Yes, to learn about my Dad and his classified missions (as de-classifying continues).
To sharpen my skills, dulled by age and use.
And finally because soon, like all my hobbies since I was 12, it will be illegal to do so, in the post-modern Feminazi world... :wink:

Dave: Thanks. I saw that my Dad's mission must be classified, as it is not listed in the mission logs of the 376th. He was shot down on 09/03/43...I am really waiting for the paper work from the national archives to find out. Didn't see him in any photos on that page/site.

For those of you who have seen my Dad's wartime log, here is an abridged version of the last moments of the Wongo Wongo on her last flight out of Benghazi, Libya, en route to her low-level bombing mission to sink two re-supply ships and thus help Patton with the invasion of Sicily:
"I had hoped to hear some encouraging news about the fellows on the crew when I returned to the states, but I found only disappointment… While a prisoner, I checked all available sources for information, but found nothing in regard to any of them….
We had been attacked by a strong force of German fighters - Messerschmitt 109’s – off the Italian coast, near Pescara, on the Adriatic Sea. We were crippled early in the flight, but fought on for approximately fifteen minutes with just one engine knocked out and then, a second, …
At that time we realized that we could never make it back – or even to the coast, as we knew the ship would be entirely out of control and over on her back in a very short time. I gave the signal to abandon the ship, which was acknowledged by everyone. Walt waited until the others on the flight deck had cleared then waved to me and bailed out. Several minutes after I had given the order to abandon, the plane began to roll over on one wingtip, going over on her back, so I jumped. I had remained at the controls as long as possible in order to give everyone time to clear as it sometimes takes the tail gunner some time to get out of his position.
I have never known a finer group of fellows than the boys of the crew. We often mentioned how lucky we were to be together. Considering the way in which the crews are thrown together, it was miraculous that each man of our crew should be so expert at his particular duty, cooperative with all of the others, and that all of us could be such fine and close friends as well as working mates. We four officers, in particular, were very close. Everything we did after first meeting was done together. The only time we were ever separated was on our final leave before going overseas. We all thought so much of Walt – he was such a splendid fellow in every respect."
1st Lt. Eugene L. Beville, Pilot, B-24 Liberator 376th Heavy Bombardment Group "The Liberandos" 9th Air Force
My Dad's words, generously found and sent to me via e-mail by our brother-in-arms, Greg Templeton, Esq.
Thanks, Pal. Just thought I should share it with the guys. I will keep you all posted when I get further de-classified documents about his ordeal.
