I hope you had a great  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  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! 

I also hope you and the wife had a good time  Missed you now get back to work 

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.

Pat you took the story I send you and made better. Everything you do is more than just giving justice to the stories. You are doing a Great job!!

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.

Hey Shucker;
Once again an outstanding job brother. Keep up the good work. I don't know if I would want to be that young again, I barley made it the first time, life choices don't you know.

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!
