Hi John!!

[DMZ-LT]

Still trying to figure out all this stuff. Thanks for the welcome. My Greatgrandfather fought for the 4th NJ Infantry during the Civil War but was born in Staffordshire , England in 1838. Probably shouldn't say my Grandfather fought for the Germans in WWI but my Dad fought for the US in WWII. I was fighting to get back to a girl named Sharon in Viet Nam and a platoon of really great guys. I think , as a family , we may just like to fight. :roll:

[Xena]

welc. LT hope you like what you see here. Probably see you in the bunker sometime que; xenasings; xx

Hello welc. rid:

[Zofo]

Whereabouts in Staffordshire? I joined the Staffordshire Regiment (The Prince of Wales') as my first military unit. Went to school in Staffs too so I know the area very well.

[DMZ-LT]

I don't know where , his name was Henry Lawton and he came to the states when he was 10. He died at 90 , the last survivor of Company B , 4TH New Jersey Infantry from the US Civil War. I have a sword he brought back from that war - pretty neat to hold it and know he once held it also

[DMZ-LT]

Thanks for offering to help my feebly attempts at operating this machine. I served in the US Army in Viet Nam as a platoon leader of 2nd platoon , C Troop , 3rd Squadron , 5th Cavalry, 101st (ABN) , 1970-71. If you could get me crossed sabers as an avatar I would appreciate it. Thank you. Did I tell y'all I was an Opa ? Cavalry , by God ! :D

[Bombardier]

Hows that LT ? :mrgreen:

[Drone_pilot]

Did I tell y'all I was an Opa

is that a dutch Opa (Grandfather) :D

[DMZ-LT]

That avatar is great ! Thank you so much.Yep on the Opa. My Dad was born in Germany in 1916 and came here when he was a teenager. He got drafted in the first draft in 1940 and spent almost 5 years overseas.I was born in 1947. I became an Opa , for the first time , six months ago. It's so much better than being a parent

[Bombardier]

It's so much better than being a parent

[DMZ-LT]

[DMZ-LT]

When I first came home from Bitnam I had a bumper sticker on my car that said " If you ain't Cav , you ain't $hit " Course I have matured since then :roll: Welcome Home , Brother :D

[drywall]

You mean you got that sticker on your Harley now? :mrgreen:

[DMZ-LT]

No , but I got a Vietnamese Service Ribbon decal and a 101st decal on it. They have saved my butt a couple of times with the police

[drywall]

Reminds of the time we were disposing of flags at the Legion. We burn em in barrels. As most of em are nylon now they burn like old tires, huge clouds of black stinky smoke. The smoke started drifting across a highway. Someone saw us and called the sherriff. The deputy drove up, looked around and saw all the veterans license plates and said "I guess you guys aren't protesters are you." We had been turned in as flag burning protesters. Turned out that the deputy was a USMC vet so we signed him up. :cool:

[Eagledriver]

That sounds about right. Sort of like "Chicken Little." Remember him? lolb; lolb; rid: rid:

[rotorwash]

Have to agree about the grandkids part, If I had known they were so much fun I'd of had them first.

Welcome aboard
