Default New blog activity

This time I'm recounting my Gulf War 1 experiences using letters I sent to my wife and family, and some vintage photos.

Nothing exciting like combat, because I was a REMF pogue...

You may or may not find it interesting.

Start with the intro and work your way up if you are so inclined.

As always, comments and opinions are welcomed.

Gee, I could start a blog like this, if only anyone had written me letters.

Looks good so far.

Thanks MOM, but I ain't done yet. I've transcribed only about half of the letters I wrote.

Stay tuned.

I read part of it ZEAL and plan on reading more. MOM, if you're interested in blogs of service members, here is a link to a blog by someone you might recognize from my sig line. It is a very good read and I'd recommend any to check it out.
