I hope you had a great  :D time, Pat.  I hear ya - we're heading to Arizona next Saturday.  We've got a bike rented for three days of riding in 70 degree  ;D weather.  It will be hard coming back to snow  :( and having to wait until Spring! :'(

Good job as always with the Vets page - it looks great!  :) :)

So it is "Tin man" now, right? 

Yes, we had a good time, but coming back to reality is a bummer sometimes.  I have updated the Vets site:  2-22-10

With Eagle Bob's new postings on his page.

Also, thanks to Rich for sending in this story for the site:

Nice story guys.  Thanks for putting it on the Vet's page.  Kinda makes you want a "do-over" and be young enough to serve again.  Makes you proud.

Hey Ducky,

Thanks for that link to the Virtual Vietnam Memorial Wall.  It is now on the site and worth everybody's attention.  Very good link.

You must watch the U.S. Navy drill team perform on this Youtube video.  Thanks to Eagle Bob for sending it to me and others.  Quite the thing to watch.  What we can do if we work as a team!
