My oldest boy just left a couple weeks ago for Basic training with the Army. He is now in Ft. Benning, Ga. Kinda wish I was there with him.
Be there at graduation. He will never forget that day.

I'm looking for Billy12360 to post in here with a lot of questions.
He's serious about the Service as a career - Tell him the truth.
I was him once upon a time and so were you....
If he wants to talk in private and not in open forum have him email or PM me. I was a career counselor for 20 years and I'll let him know the good, bad and ugly.

Evening. I don't think I ever posted this here but I thought you guys might get a kick out of it. Chris and I purchased our first home this year and the first thing we did was paint.

If the local HOA gives you any crap at all - tell them: "GO and POOP IN A RICE PADDY! (DI-DI MAU!!!)"
If the local HOA gives you any crap, don't tell them anything...just give me their phone number.
A Veteran, whether active duty, retired, national guard, or reserve, is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to “The United States of America” for an amount of “up to and including my life.”

Thanks guys. We looked long and hard to find a place without an HOA that was really nice. The whole circle is military or retired military, so it's mostly well kept without the need for an association.
The Snopes reference has a lot of info on this, good read.
Ed Freeman
You're a 19-year-old kid. You're critically wounded and dying in the jungle in the Ia Drang Valley, 11-14-1965, LZ X-ray, Vietnam. Your infantry unit is outnumbered 8-1 and the enemy fire is so intense, from 100 or 200 yards away, that your own Infantry Commander has ordered the MediVac helicopters to stop coming in.
You're lying there, listening to the enemy machine guns, and you know you're not getting out. Your family is half way around the world, 12,000 miles away and you'll never see them again. As the world starts to fade in and out, you know this is the day.
Then, over the machine gun noise, you faintly hear that sound of a helicopter and you look up to see an unarmed Huey, but it doesn't seem real because no Medi-Vac markings are on it.
Ed Freeman is coming for you. He's not Medi-Vac, so it's not his job, but he's flying his Huey down into the machine gun fire, after the Medi-Vacs were ordered not to come.
He's coming anyway.
And he drops it in and sits there in the machine gun fire as they load 2 or 3 of you on board.
Then he flies you up and out, through the gunfire to the doctors and nurses.
And he kept coming back, 13 more times, and took about 30 of you and your buddies out, who would never have gotten out.
Medal of Honor Recipient Ed Freeman died on Wednesday, March 25th, 2008, at the age of 80, in Boise, ID. May God rest his soul.
Medal of Honor Winner Ed Freeman!
THANKS AGAIN, ED, FOR WHAT YOU DID FOR OUR COUNTRY. RIP
