That reminds me of the first time I ever talked to TLandrum on the phone. It had rained a lot for days in TN. I remember seeing it on the news. I said, "I hear you're been getting pounded with rain, are you affected by the floods?" He said, "I kid you not, I went out to the shop earlier, it is up a hill. There is an inch of standing water on the side of the hill, been there for days. Explain that!!!" Then he went on about all the rain. I couldn't stop laughing.
I remember doing some training in the field---the desert, of all places, to be exact. It rained on us for 4 days and nights non-stop. Everything we had was wet. I couldn't get away from it...nowhere to go. It was miserable...and only 4 days; I can't imagine being in Vietnam for months at a time during monsoon season. That alone would have sent me to the nut house.
Yes, monsoon season, spent it near An Khe central highlands. Rain started every day 4:00 pm lasted to 9:00 pm, just a drizzel, set your watch. Gurantee you slept wet every night. Farther inland Plieku area, rained much harder. I hate being out in the rain.........................................
Hey guys,I have been slacking, not posting here. I have learned to redesign my priorities as I am home all day with little Emerson. The infant czar of pre-Bolshevik Lawrence KS. I get NOTHING done in a day when I have him. Oh well once I figured that out it's OK. I took him out on the front porch to watch the rain and hear the thunder. He liked it, thank goodness. Hope nobody got washed out too badly or blown away.
Good morning. Can't believe I am the first post of the day. Happy Anniversary, if there is such a thing, to all of the D-day survivors out there. Thank you for your service. You too 67L36 Driver,,,thank you.

Just sent a text. Told her I would take them and pick them up in the morning. Do you want one, both, or neither?

Didn't mean to open up a can of worms. Thank you both for your service. God Bless....

I don't think it's a can of worms. I was never in combat, but from those I've talked to who have been it's a good thing that they are able to talk about it. I'm told it means they have found a way to address it, hold on to the memories and not go insane in the process.
I join you in your salute to those who served. May God bless the USA and those who protect her.

Was that 275 for both?? Or each were 275??
I hope $275 for both. If it is $275 each I am out. I haven't heard back from her.
I had an uncle (aunt's husband) who went in on the second wave of boats on Omaha beach. Went all the way to Germany. Did a lot of interpreting as he spoke german. South Side Dutch (south St. Louis), most all spoke german in the home.
Another uncle (my other aunt's husband) went the length of Italy. Another of the South Side Dutch.
Both were combat infantrymen.
Dad, started USMC reserves in '39. Spent time in Quantico training troops at the beginning of the war and then to the south pacific. He was a REMF fixing heavy machinery and such. Did same thing on Okinawa during the Korean conflict. Got out of the reserves about 1955 or so.
Me? Got my ass drafted Feb. '68. 5'-5" and 116 pounds. One pound over the minimum. Should have taken a laxative...................................................
