Quite farcical when compared to the genuine article.

Though I never got to meet Audie Murphy it was an honor and privilege to meet LTC Lames L. Minor. My grandfather was the VFW post commander (Post 6797 Miller/Luman Post - Post, Texas) at the time and he drove me over to his house a year or two before he passed. He was working on a book at the time and I got to see these pages:











I'd give anything to time-warp back to that visit. One thing that stuck out was his sharing that it was a great source of mirth to everyone when he was promoted to major.

No, but Lennon did. He wanted to make a bigger statement with the shirt than was originally intended regarding the Vietnam war.

Check this link out.

Again, he had a message to say and he used this shirt to make it even though the original owner wasn't in Vietnam.

Apologies for bashing Lennon, it is pretty obvious you're fond of him.

Bash away bro, all good as far as I am concerned.    I just recall his interview on the Dick Cavet show in like 71 or 72.   Nuke and Sluggish are the two that would have crawled into the sack with him.    :devil     I just don't know the true intentions of him wearing it I suppose.   He would flip fliop on same questions, which including admitting that in the past he was kidding.   So you are left wondering, "well how much of this is true John?"
