Great Song, and Picture.

Good Day! I just wanted to share a brief email from a fellow Vietnam Vet- 'Down Under' in Australia, named Bob Gibson. No matter what I complain about, life, politics, obama, corruption, etc., I still have a special place in my heart for the intense camaraderie of my old Army days and combat. We try not to dwell on the bad times and harsh realities of war and gore -- but we do share the good times! The link to a great macho military song is special to me, and it seems that every generation of warrior comes out with their own version-- and that's OK. I hope you all get a similar experience from this song too. Here is to all my 'brothers-in-arms' who fight and die for our protection and Freedoms-- even as they slip away from corrupt politics and power grabs in the good old USA!

Good Day!

--attached is a recent picture of me doing my wood carving, carpentry outside in our back yard [Wisconsin], and me playing/ jamming guitar at a Marine Vet buddy's house in Kenosha,WI. Marvin Ellis, encouraged me to buy a new guitar and Amp last Summer, and we jam together when we can. He was wounded in RVN [the Republic of Vietnam] and also worked with me at AMC/ Chrysler, is a fellow skilled welder, and attended the same church as we did, VBC. We have a lot in common, and I can NEVER have 'too many friends.'

NEW SONG ,NEW COUNTRY, SAME BLOODY THING ALL OVER AGAIN.
WHEN THEY THE POLITICIANS STARTED USING THAT WORD THAT ALL VIETNAM VETERANS KNOW!!! "QUAGMIRE" THEN WE KNEW THE TROOPS ARE IN TROUBLE. STRIP A NORTH & SOUTH VIETNAMESE CLOTHS OFF AND WHICH ONE IS WHICH?? SO WHAT DOES A TERRORIST LOOK LIKE???. AND THEY SAY ITS NOTHING LIKE VIETNAM, WELL HELLO.
