Ram Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Read some shit on the ol' interwebs about the Aleutian campaign when you get a chance. Japanese on our soil, and no one remembers it. Hell, they still find UXOs near Shemya. Think about THAT on your next PACAF pond crossing. Also, Airwolf was cool. But that was back before I learned how slow helicopters actually are.

Ram Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Not to hijack the thread, but since Mr. Borgnine is a WWII vet after all...this applies: Over 1,400 Americans gave their lives in the Aleutian Island Campaign: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aleutian_Islands_Campaign Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuggyU2 Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 ... was also the first person (and one of only roughly 70) to be named as an Honorary Blue Angel. FWIW, he was an Honorary Blue Angel Flight Lead, of which there have been just a few. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M2 Posted July 13, 2012 Author Share Posted July 13, 2012 The Belgians haven't forgotten, either: Last Post played every night at the Menin Gate at Ypres. http://www.greatwar....st-ceremony.htm If you're ever anywhere near Mons around the August timeframe, definitely check out Tanks in Town! And the Menin Gate at Ypres is impressive, as are the battlefields in the area. Cheers! M2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bfargin Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 I thought Masshole's lame MJ comment was worse than Vertigo's lame joke. Definitely, and unless she's referring to Jordan flying over someone's head for a dunk, I've never seen him moonwalk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groundbounder Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Definitely, and unless she's referring to Jordan flying over someone's head for a dunk, I've never seen him moonwalk. She probably means Micheal Jackson, hence the moon walking reference. Uncalled for naming that POS in the same sentence as Neil Armstrong though. Don't know how to put the salute and beers avitar in my post, but consider it done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
