Gentlemen:

I am sorry that I had to cut my time short this weekend with my grey-clad brethren, but our 'four-legged' child had to have emergency surgery at the vet hospital Saturday, which she has come out of successfully I am very happy to report. Although I shall not be purusing the Wanting to Sell forum anytime soon after that bill.
I am happy I did get an opportunity to participate in this great event for the time I had, seeing many of the great folks involved with this effort whom I am privileged to already know, and meeting many new pards I look forward to seeing again in the near future. So, until that scant 145(?) days away...

Cheers


Travis

But it is a "Chevron" which should make him feel at home. Get it? Military pun ha! ha! :tounge_sm

I sleep better at night knowing the ghost Gen shot pouch walker can walk across the street to the chevron and pick up a coffee and bear claw 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Ross really did a stellar job with the speech at the MacPherson monument.

That he did... It was very well done and a great honor to pay tribute to the General.

I really enjoy doing Federal and plan to do it exclusively when the Streamer season starts up here in September.

"145 days and counting to go"

AHHHHHH! Is it that close??? AHHHHH!

Ross, think hills, not blue.



Pete sent me pics of you guys at he McPherson Monument. Thank you for going there! It is odd when the Johnnys go to the Walker and the McPherson monument for commemoration (at least someone was going). There was also one kind chap in blue that would place cigars on the monument. It was about time we had a good sized "Think Blue" contingent at Jimmy Mac's monumnet. Thank you!

Shhh... Pete it ruins the arrogant stitch-nazi persona if people actually know we talk civilly and teach people professionally at events. Hee... Hee...

Glad I could be of help and I wasn't too much of a pain in the butt Second Sergeant.

I did aquire my GG Grandfather's copy of Gilhams. I had it at the event along with his sword. I have posted a few pics over on my facebook page if anyone is interested.

It was awesome. I would love to sit at a table with some white gloves on and take a closer look in the future. For those that do not know how he got it, ask him sometime. It was really a million in one type occurrence, for him to be able to land that prize. Congrats again Tripp. What an awesome family heirloom.

Tripp, et' al,

I am really sorry I had to miss this. It looks and sounds like y'all had a great time. I did have a nice visit with Scott Malone out on Parris Island Friday though.

Did you ever acquire that book owned by your GGGrandfather?
