Surg I’ve never saw or heard of that before. Let us know how it is.

Tex_77 I’ve been in it after work until dark the past 2 nights. I’ve finally got just about everything planted for now.

Surg That’s one on me. Hopefully, it didn’t taste like a pine tree. Oh, gins are great at this time of year. Just purchased some tonic to enjoy while sitting outside in the sun. Then, switch to the brown stuff when the sun goes down.

I’ve been eyeing this for months, sometimes I just buy a bottle because of how it looks. This is one of them, it’s different, but not a bad different.

HerbcoFood Glad you tried something that not in the media to try. I’ve found many gems that way.

JoeB I saw some pretty old school looking helmets on your mantle, was that a ferman ww2 helmet in the middle? It looks like the one Sgt Schultz wears in Hogans Heroes.

Jonathon , yes spent 8yrs in Europa, 4 years in the orient, and a few places others would rather not be. They are all actual helmets used in our wars, and worn by soldiers in combat. wwI, wwII, Korean, RVN, and Desert Shield / Storm mixed with a few grenades, and anti aircraft rounds. A worthy note are the Kiss your a*s goodbye rounds in the Helmet camo bands in case capture was inevitable… 5.56 & 7.62 Cheers

Today is Armed Forces day, and Monday 30 May 2022 will be Memorial Day. I am posting this for all who served, and remembering those that never had the opportunity to take off their uniform.
“A Soldier”
I was that which others did not want to be.
I went where others feared to go. And did what others failed to do.
I asked nothing from those who gave nothing, and reluctantly accepted the thought of eternal loneliness, should I fail.
I have seen the face of terror, felt the stinging cold of fear, and enjoyed the sweet taste of a moment’s love.
I have cried, pained, and hoped, but most of all I have lived times others would say were best forgotten.
At least someday I will be able to say I was proud of what I was…

Tex_77 That could get someone in trouble, legal or not! It is just too easy, barely have to lift the glass, much less the bottle.

1968JoeB Well said brother. I love that poem. It always brings to mind Teddy Roosevelt’s “Man in the Arena” speech. Memorial day definitely takes on a new meaning the moment you bury a brother or sister in arms.
