    All persons, living or dead, are purely coincidental-Vonnegut
    97% of the time, I'm right-the other 5% doesn't bother me.
    There comes a point in your life that looks just like all the other points you didn't notice either.
    If I had a nickel for every dollar I spent on rockets, I'd have more rockets.
    You may have had more fun in your life than me, but the chaos was undeniable.

    To my brother, my uncle and my grand father (who fought in the Battle of the Bulge.) Thank you.
    Regretfully, I was unable to serve. I had a hearing loss in my right ear that was above the limit and was told that I could not serve my country. I was informed of this while at MEPS taking the physical. It still bothers me and I believe it will for the rest of my life.

    You were the reason I stayed in all those years.....then you were gone.
    Someday, in a more "peacefull" place we'll get together.....I'm sure you'll have the Roadrunner all waxed up......and, we will cruise up and down the road whistling at all the hot girls.
    We have a lot too catch up on.......make sure it has a full tank.......

    To all those, past, present and future, God bless and Thank You. The best I can do to thank you is to do my BEST everyday. For those we've lost---Your tail is clear and the sky is blue-- I'd like to tuck up real close and just fly a while..

    I think the ones that get the most are the ones that happen so close to coming home. I remember several brothers in arms die like that. Today definitely was not not a BBQ for me.

    Here is to my friends, fellow service members, and their families. Those who make the sacrifice so we can be free.

    Lets all hope for a quick end to the fighting so our brave service members can come home.

    My rockets usually fly naked. If they survive, they earn their paint.

    You've got that right, Chuck! The sooner the better. It's insult to injury that our armed forces are contending with hollow-force level budgets (without that $500B sequestration hit that could still come) WHILE still fighting a conflict of arguably limited value.
