The oldest of these men was only 26 years old. How sad those who sacrificed so much did so at such a young age.

I cannot wait for Papa Mike to get that bad boy ready, and next Saturday to roll around. I've paid my respects to Vietnam Vets-time to cover the rest.

Getting IWO JIMA
Figure that's as good of a tat to show what American pride is as there is. Papa Mike is working on getting it the adequate size.

I've yet to read this book that I got at the library yet.
It's called Flags of Our Fathers. It's about Iwo Jima.
I just haven't had the time to read it yet.
