Lou - it IS a team effort and you ARE a member of the team - EVERY support member allows the soldiers to focus on their task !

And we'd LIKE to see pics of you and your team !!!

Posting pics is fairly wasy once u do it...

Unfortunately the FTE gallery is ONLY FORD Trucks
But Like Dennis said, Use web shots to make an album

and talk radio is just GUSHING about how well the elections went !!!!

Still some tragedies, and will be in the future, we cant minimize that.... but MY GOODNESS 60% to 90% is a better turnout then we usually have here !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

and our only worries are how long it will take !!!

I heard of a husband and wife that were so concerned but brave enough for one to go in the morning to vote and the other to go in the afternoon so one attack by the murderers they call insurgents would not leave their children as orphans !!!!!!!!!

Now, THAT is courage - THAT is worth fighting for !!!

Wow, TOO cool !

Hi Lou, Please don't post your pictures on our site .. do as Dennis suggests and post a link for us all to check out. I, for one, definitely would love to see some images from the "inside". I remember only too well, how the news was doctored when I was in Vietnam, so it's good to get an honest perspective from someone who is actually there. We'd all love to see some pics as soon as you can get them set up.

I do hope we can keep this thread going without going in depth into political talk, so to avoid getting the thread closed. I am a veteran and I know how important it is to share our experiences with others, so please keep sharing and let us know how you are doing.

One question though ... are you a pilot, crew chief or door gunner? When someone mentions flying, I flash back to the hours I spent in the air and the memories that I can never fully make others comprehend .. not that I care to detail much anyway.

Hang in there bud ... and have a good R&R, if that's what they still call them.

Hi Lou,
I too would like to see any of your pics..... when in Vietnam, we didn't have any way to get information out other than letters, and some of them didn't make it back to the US or took weeks to make it. Thank you for your service and dedication to your job and wish you a great R&R. My son entered the Marines in 04-04 and is working on a M1-A1 project at Aberdeen, MD. to detect & clear IED's. He's headed your way soon. Please keep sharing your experiences with us all. It's so much better than listening to filtered "news". God Bless.
