Not a bad thread. Hat's off to all you guys on this Veterans Day, but let's not forget that we are all alive. We owe a lot to the guy's that are not with us today. Hat's off to THEM!

Dang! Could you have picked about a more dangerous spot and predicament as in Chesty Puller when surrounded by the Chinese at the Frozin Chosin said, "Good, now we can shoot at the bastards from all directions."
Since you were in the Air Force, were you attached directly to Green Beret unit and were you there to call in the A1 Skyraiders, Puffs, etc., or were you in one of those that were shot down in support?
And an Auburn man, too!!!
Thanks. One just never knows
