Thanks I know there good I ate two coffee cans full a year I dint realize the recipe was to help him feel closer to home.Do you know anything about war chest donations?One of the stories that stick out the most is his first experience with dead weight a guy had backed a jeep over a land mine . His detail was to take the young man to a us military bury ground he said he never realized how heavy dead weight was until they put him in the back of a weapons carrier and he drove day and night to get the unlucky guy to a big trench dug with a bulldozer .whats amazing to me is that he made back to his outfit no gps map or communication.he said he just asked other outfits along the way where they were seen last.

The typed page looks like paper from the 40's and so does the type font!
