Coach you had some great kids--obviously they had a great model to follow. Thanks.

My father came home from New Guinea, 1943 to 45. My uncles Harry and Patrick both died in Europe, 1944. The Veteran's Day and Memorial Day parades are the only ones that matter.

There is a special re our Veterans on Fox News at 10 PM tonight that should interest all who have be involved with this thread and others as well.
 
ROTC US Army Signal Corps. Active duty 1961 - 1963 at Fort Gordon, GA and Washington DC. My salute to all of you who served and supported the military, but especially those of you who spent time in the line of fire. I had the privilege of sharing office space with two Lt Colonels who were veterans of the Chosin Reservoir.

Basic training at Fort Gordon, late August through October, 1962, including the most dangerous thirteen days in the history of what is ludicrously referred to as civilization. Still remember all the military transports overhead heading south, the intercoms in the PX and EM club ordering soldiers to report to their various units.
On a more personal level, I also remember setting what undoubtedly would have been a world record for the standing broad jump, when I encountered a rattlesnake on the night compass course. If only Guinness had been there. Or preferably Jameson, as I could have done with a shot or two.
