I guess you gotta break them in somehow. Brooke

Sounds interesting, Jim. I'd like to read it, too. I checked the library's online card catalog just to make sure they didn't have it and they don't....

This is good stuff, keep it coming!! Brooke

Thanks for another good memory! Brooke

Ahh.. I go looney over a man in uniform. Handsome fellows, especially the one on the right!! Hugs!! Brooke

Yeah, mine too!! Brooke

Sgtleo, I have also enjoyed your tales, thanks so much for sharing!! Brooke

I went to see the battleship North Carolina last year and although I enjoyed my tour, I found myself thinking of being one little ant among 600 or 700...

Such young faces on those men. War is such a stupid waste of life. Brooke

That's a good one, Stgleo!! Brooke

Ugh, I'm not a water person. I couldn't have ever made it in the Navy, that's for sure. Thanks for sharing. Hugs, Brooke

Sgtleo, thanks again for sharing your experiences. Brooke

flat ground.... what the heck is that?? Brooke

How very sad. Thanks for all you're doing Sgtleo! Brooke

Even though it is small in size, it exudes the feeling well. that's what I always say! ehhhh......
