Nope not at the present but the "Campfire" gives me the opportunity to see the many faces of the military and service that you can't elsewhere.
I'm so proud of our young men and women today.. they are truly professionals and should always have our respect...the torch continues to be passed and each generation must guard our freedoms!!

My best friend in High school was ASA. I remember how freaked out while we were camping when I told him he talked in his sleep.  He almost killed me when I confessed I made it up.
