Physical Troubles Overseas
“There was one time we was set up in after the Cambodian invasion we came back and stood down for 60 days-paned up vehicles and everything. Oh… before that the 60 days I had to go to Cam Rhon Bay, the convalescence center in Vietnam with a hotel on the beach and that was like…

A Prayer for Our Veterans
Gracious Heavenly Father, Thank You for our Veterans! Knowing we have them standing guard has been a sufficient sweetness for our families. God has seen them through many nights on guard duty for us Americans over the years. Thank You Lord, for the sacrifices they have made and their families in order to give the…

Uncle Tom In Vietnam

Two years ago we didn’t have quite the Red Wave that was predicted, but it still made for some stellar results. Not only did Virginia elect a Republican…

The Army & Uncle Tom
Back at Fort Bliss, Texas the story continues… “for a red eye missile training, which is sort like aircraft locker downer or whatever you call it. It was a rocket, but it shot down airplanes. It was a heat signal device. I trained my pilots. I trained the leader for that and uh… on graduation…

College Memories
I began college at Oakland City University in the Spring Semester. Which means I started in the middle of winter. My first big winter weather storm didn’t take long to happen. In fact I was afraid I wouldn’t get home that week at all. We had a lot of snowfall down south. During this week…
