Hi LT, nice to see you here. looking forward to seeing your posts/pictures and of course chewing the fat over a beer in the Bunker. If you would like to have an avatar just let me know what and I will sort it out for ya.
I was going to give you a call this weekend if I didn't see you on a board somewhere. Glad you found this one, Bud. You'll be made to feel REAL welcome here. Bunch of good people.
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:
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.
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
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 !
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
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
