Desert Storm

1st Infantry, 1st Battalion, 2nd Dagger Brigade, 16th Infantry Regiment(Iron Rangers)deployed from Ft. Riley, Kansas commanded by Colonel Anthony Moreno.

Started kicking ass in Kuwait up into Iraq and Allah is still sorting them out to match up with his celestial virgins.

Always ready....Duty first!

McClellan AFB

Signed up back in '90. Busted up my Collar Bone in BT, discharged after a program that allowed ''semi disabled'' folks to enlist was cut.

Been grumpy and sour ever since at people who think that America is the pits. Fine, ya think that way? Then GET OUT!!

My granddad served in WW2. Was part of the liberating force to free Russia. Married a Frauline (my grandmother) in Germany and came back in early '44.
Both are now in Peace.

My dad couldn't sign up due to being Colour Blind.

Didn't

I planned to. I wanted to fly helicopters but had poor vision...who the heck am I kidding...I was too fat and lazy. Not much has changed. On behalf of me and my family, I am very grateful to those of you that served when others of us wouldn't/couldn't. I can't imagine what you've seen and endured. I am also very grateful to those that show their patriotism by speaking their minds no matter how unpopular their ''just'' cause might be. The founding fathers did more than pick up a musket but wrote and spoke their minds about freedom and tyranny.
