U.S. Army, 5th Special Forces 1966 - 1973 ** Vietnam 67-71 Demolitions expert I would like to extend a heartfelt thanks to all our veterans on this day. All the men and women who have served and sacrificed, and to those who gave the ultimate sacrifice. THANK YOU....! If you know a veteran, take a few moments to thank them today. Without their contributions you might not be free today. Freedom is by no means free. It also has a flavor the protected will never know. " Hope and Change " is no longer an option, " it's the past 41 months that counts ". In 2012, vote with your eye's open...! _________________________________________________________________ | | |

Bragg on Cherokee Trails, and learned a lot!!! Went to demo. school in Vilsek, Germany. P for Plenty! Jesus had a 12-man A-team! It's Lotto, not horseshoes or artillery!
