| Proud member of the United States Navy also. USS IOWA BB-61 87-92.
The Navy has a lot of different types of ship, but NONE could match the thunder of a Battleship. Let me tell you, when all nine 16" guns went off at once during a broadside shoot. WOW. I loved every minute of it. EXCEPT, when we lost 47 of my shipmates to the explosion that rocked turret two. If everyone of you who reads this can take a moment for me, to remember the fallen, the missing, and the ones who the dearest price for the freedoms we enjoy today, it would be appreciated.
*** moment of silence***
NOW, on to lighter matters....
The job is done here in Lansing IA and now I get to go home to my waiting heli parts. so that I may reserect said heli and bring her to life once again.
I work a 12-14 hour shift out on the road, and when I get back to the hotel, DAMN you people give me enough material to read for an hour!!
