And a Hearty Hail and Hello to our very own periaptetic Muppet! How was your journey to the dark fastness of coastal VA? Did the dedication go well? Are you busily writing up an after action report so I should just ?
This may seem an odd placement for this post, but I figured since you are a bit of a fixture on the site, where better? You certainly don't belong in the Junk drawer...

Thanks for the reply. I have posted some photos and as soon as i can get caught up on everything that was left in limbo while I was gone, I will let you all know how it went Fro now I can say that I am one Vietnam Vet who has had his parade finally. It was a very soul cleansing experience for me and I have come a full circle with my inner feelings and fell at peace for the first time in over 35 years. I was able to see some of by comrades for the first time in that many years. the only problem is that I had a vision of them as young troopers and I saw old men. Then I looked into the mirror and I too have aged. :-)

The animal is back! Welcome back sir!

Animal, my friend,
Being the ripe old age of 35 (as of last Sunday, the 13th) I can honestly say that you are only as old as you feel... and I feel 50! :-)

Welcome back Animal. I am glad you have finally found peace within yourself after all these years.

Take Care Buddy

Animal, you're not getting older-you're getting Better!
