Yesterday at 10:30 am my best friend lost his father. He was a Viet Nam Vet. He served with the US Army LRPS and he also love WWII aircraft very much. I was wondering is there some one ouy there that could capture a shot of a flight of P-47's doing the missing man formation for my friend. The 47 was his dads fav. fighter. My friends dad was around 62 and he was a great guy kinda like a secound dad to me. Um could some on do this for me just need a picture if ya can with the smoke on. Thanks guy's, Red 26 out here.

he was a lrps? thems was some bad mofos.my first squad ldr.when i got to 82nd was a lrp.(long range reconnasence patrol). he must have needed a wheelbarrel to carry around his basketball-sized balls.
theirs is a story that needs to be told because the shhiiaat that they did would make rambo look like richard simmons in a gay pride parade.

Yup he was a lrps. The funny thing is ZHe was Army of course but my father was A Marine Force Recon. They had worked with each other for about one month. I had just met my friend and His dad had told me that in Viet Nam he was a lrps I said that that was the sheit and that my father was a Force Recon. Kenny my friends dad said that he had worked with some recons and wanted to meet my dad. So we bought 4 cases of beer and we all sat down wile his dad and mine were telling there stories :aok . Well my dad got about hafe way into a storie and his dad started telling the rest of it. My dad freaked out And ever since then they ran together a bunch. So yea Kenny was a lrps and he still had the mind of one all the way to the end. What unit was you with in the 82nd COBA94? I was attached to the 82nd with a SAPPER team. 153rd Airborne SAPPER's 84th Eng. AIRBORNE!!!!!!

Hey what year did you goto the SAPPER tranning and were Ive done a little tranning my self and your unit sounds familure. The best thing I think I ever got to do was at camp shelby Ms. We had a group of navy concrete/masonary tech's come through. They were learning how to do 2ndary MOS's well they took like 3 weeks to build this 2 story house it was nice. Well we come in and put up a blast wall with window's of course and strund around 20 pounds of C4 and about 200ft of det cord and after all there hard work made it disapere in like 5 secounds :aok They all were sick to there stomach . Because we tould them that all the stuff we put down was for testing for stress :rofl well you can guess the rest.

Ah never made it to Bragg. There was some infantry guy's that came to Camp Shelby one time and they were playing with the C4 lit it on fire and was slaming a hammer down on the stuff watching the hammer go flying into the air. Well then it happen one of them had his head over the pice of C4 witch was about as big as the litle red X above. Well he hit the pice of C4 then the hammer git him putting him in the Hospital for about a week LOL. That was somt funny crap LOL he almost did a cartweel backward LOL. Im not saying that the Infantry is a dumb MOS but I like to watch how they Learn LOL.:aok :rofl :O

The two saddest things I can think of are the missing man formation and listening to Taps.
Latrope I salute you and your friends for helping Red.

The funreal went great the Hounor Gaurd was great they didnt mess up once.
My buddy was strong all the way till they played Taps the he broke and so did I I was putting a great man to rest but as always the thought of all my friends that I had put down this past 3 years came rushing back. But outher than that every thing went great.
Thanks for all your help Guys and GODS SPEED SIR'S
