didn't know that was on, RB...i spent the afternoon pitchin' shoes with some iraqi/afghani vets, shootin' the shit, commiserating, generally enjoying life away from a war zone...when i came back from viet-nam, all we wanted to do was head for the nearest bar and drink to the downfall of RMN...
my niece's husband is due back from afghanistan tonight at 10:30...
