Nepas,
thank you..
thank you for the help you give here
thank you for the help you give our troops
most of all thank you to your children for their service.

Some people are like Slinkies... They're really good for nothing.
...But they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down the stairs.

Jeez, Nepas - My first company command was B/1/504 back in 70-71 between Vietnam tours.  

I remember my battalion commander calling one day and I answered the phone with "Bravo Company, 1st Battalion (Airborne), 504th Infantry, those famed Devils in Baggy Pants of the 82nd Airborne Division, America's Guard of Honor, located at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, the home of the airborne, Captain Honu speaking, sir."  After hearing all that, he forgot what he called to chew me out about.

I don't keep many "souvenirs" of those days but I still have the unit guidon and a hand-carved wooden "pace stick" (with the devil's head at the top) that the company gave me as a going-away present.

I will tell him about you being in the 504. He has been there now for 4.5 years now, going to make a career but he does want Ranger or Delta Force. My other son is at Bragg also 7th group SF and my DIL is PIR at Bragg too. Its nice they can hang out together. My SF son goes to Colorado next week for 2 weeks then off to Afghanistan again. My 504th son leaves for Iraq in Aug for the 3rd time. He is going to try to make it to the smokeout.
