I didnt realize there was  a RL leader of the same name until you mentioned it.

Though with the theme I went with. I dot know why anyone would have thought  I would have included on.

Lets try again. I'll provide a hint

Capt Wilton Parmentor
Chief Wild Eagle
Col Henry Blake
Sergeant Vincent Carter
Captain John Morton

::Hint:: the last one

I thought you were throwing a serious one in there.

If not, you can only be referring to Mr. Roberts.

Have you taken him to see the USS New Jersey anchored over in Camden, yet?  My Grandfather served on the  tanker, USS Monongahela (AO-42) 

I offered to take my Grandfather to see the New Jersey.  He responded by telling me that he has seen it plenty of times and has put more fuel in that vessel than I will put in all the cars I have ever owned, or will own in my lifetime.     :rofl
