First cup of French-Press coffee brought by the kitchen "Toto" on my first African sunrise whilst on safari..

Viet Nam, November, 1965, Ia Drang Valley. Smell of death all around us, hard to forget... The smell of human excrement and diesel burning.

You guys are morbid. How about the first time you open a bag with a new leather holster in it? Or the woods when it's been too long since you've been in them? Or a beautiful woman? A fresh Christmas tree. Thanksgiving dinner cooking.

[quote=powdr]I'm sitting here watching the LSU and Auburn game from 1988 but the smells are still the same. The dressing, the cherry pie, and the ham finishing up in the oven. The rolls sitting on the cabinet. The scented candle w/it's red glow and sweet smell. Ever since I was a young boy those are my favorite smells. I'm so glad we live in a country that celebrates Thanksgiving because we truly do have a lot to be thankful for. powdr [/quote
You are so right bro. Have a great Thanks Giving. Cheers NC

A fresh Christmas tree. Thanksgiving dinner cooking. No they aren't morbid. Thank God I didn't have to experience what they did. My Dad did, he would be 86 this coming January if he hadn't passed away in 1994. He too saw the horrors of war in Korea and Vietnam. It was all over by the time I came of age but I remember him struggling with some of the memories ans things that brought them back. These are things you cannot help. For me many of the thing mentioned above bring back memories some of which are pleasant and some not. A Happy Thanksgiving to you all. And a special thanks to those of you who served like my Dad did.

Michigan woods in fall after a year out of country.
Freshly blown up pine trees, the acrid tang of c4 residue and pine sap.
My wife's hair after a long time away.
And the smell of the army will always be diesel exhaust, CLP, and body funk.

Horse lather.
Just fired waxed paper hull.
Fox squirrel.
Piney woods.
Damp mesquite in cool fall.
Yellow carpet of fresh aspen.
Marina in salt bay water.
Spawning crappie.
Rutty bull elk.
Scaulding ducks.
Dry cows, two or four legged.

Burning barrels of crap in Iraq. Very specific odor to say the least!

Respects,
Richard God bless you sir. Thank you for your service. +1 from here. I will keep it on the pleasant side too, and try to forget the rest. Someone mentioned the small of spawning crappie.. To that I'll add the smell of spawning bluegills. And one of my faves...the smell of a newly spent paper shotgun shell on a frosty fall morning...

Idaho when I was a kid.
Driving into the valley on 95 would always bring the wonderful smell of SW Idaho. I still occasionally get a whiff of that wonderful aroma now and then in rural areas, and it brings good memories every time.
