I'm starting to feel young!( well at least I have a few years on Hawklore

I was 16/17 at the time, working at the corner store delivering groceries and beer, watching all of it with the store owner (Lebanesse ) who thought what we where doing was very good thing.

39 years young.........was waiting for my house to be rebuilt, remember watching the Gulf War on my brand new TV, in a rented townhouse, as an Illinois tornado had waged war on my subdivision. We lost, Mother Nature is wicked.

43, waiting to go for another one. Part of brigade there, rest waiting our turn for call up by Prez. This will be first ground action missed since 1968. Hope you young bucks "do it to it"
