Kevin:

"and my granddad was a radio operator on the bridge of the New Jersey with Halsey during the Battle of Leyte Gulf. Fascinating story... "

That is not fair, you are teasing us. I for one would love to hear that story.

<<Btw: not a vet, but my dad was with the 1st Marines in Korea<<

That's cool-- my Dad was in the Army during the Korean War-- but stateside. 3 Uncles in WWII. Grandfather in WWI.

I have heard about Valley Forge thru 2 people-- my Grandfather told me, his great grandmother told him, and her great grandmother told her about taking food to her father and 2 brothers at Valley Forge. She was 12 at the time. Her name was Nancy Allen-- Ethan's first cousin.

Pretty cool, eh?

I have 11 ancestors that fought in the Revolution. 7 in the Civil War-- Indiana and Illinois regiments.

It's not that I do not trust the military-- I do not trust the GOVERNMENT.

Did you know that 4 years ago they asked Marine recruits if they would go door to door and confiscate guns from Americans?

70% said they would use deadly force if so ordered....
