OT...Will you give this to my Daddy?

[superpickle]

Although touching, I think the "Give this to my Daddy" story is a bit Contrived. Looks like one of those Made up things to get people Emotionaly worked up ! its Too pat !!!!  I'll need some Proof it Really happend..

Brojcol, others,
Thank you for your kind remarks.  All I can say is that, although I can't explain it, your appreciation moves me to tears.  Just that small token means more to me than I can express.  Thanks to all of you from all of us.

Superpickle...who cares if it really happened or was contrived?  It is the thought behind it that is moving.  It is the kind of thing that SHOULD happen.  You might have been joking but you came across more as a sour puss to me.  If I took your comments wrong, I apologize.  If I interpreted them correctly....lighten up.  Cat

No Offence takin, I AM a Sourpus 
But, If im going to be Emotionaly fired up for something, I want the Stimulis to be in FACT. Any story can be Made up to get an Effect. I DONT like being Manipulated into haveing the Feelings Someone Else thinks I should have.
If You dont mind being Told what you should be feeling.. then you can be Led along the same path Hitler led an entire nation down.. its called "Propaganda" I dont like Propaganda..
Im a Free thinking individual that does Not hang on every word I see in print..
The Government of this country has been Manipulating the the complacent public of this country for A Long Long time.. Im not falling for it any more. I saw the Truth, in Viet Nam.  I think ALL people should take anything they see as half truth and the rest of it as Bold face Lies..
When you have Nothing but Scumbags Running the country, Whats to belive ?
A well knowen TV idiot said that "If your Not supporting the War in Iraq, Your a BAD American"  WRIGHT, All Americans LOVE WAR..
What a bunch of KRAPP.
Its a Bad war, Hell No i dont support it..

But see, Now YOU think Im a BAD person because I DONT want to be Manipulated.. a bit Narrow minded, dont ya think...

Nuff said on that by me.. Not the subject for this board, i dont think anyway ? Could be wrong though

Thought I would post a couple of Quotes I found...

The people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders...tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger.
Herman Goering


Preventive war was an invention of Hitler. Frankly, I would not even listen to anyone seriously that came and talked about such a thing.
Dwight D. Eisenhower

[Hi yo silver]

Paul,
Yeah, I'm shootin' blanks now...smart eleck..he!he!  I was with 244th Aviation Co. down in the delta, then with 225th Avn. for my last six months there.  That was '67-'68.  Seems like a hundred years ago.  I was just a kid.  How 'bout you? Did you get one of those free tours of Southeast Asia too?

Paul, I'm kind of interested about when you were there too, what unit and where were you stationed?

Hey Dennis and Cody..
My MOS was 11B10.. so you can guess what i was doing..
I was with the 4th inf Div. D co 1st bat 22nd brg.
Central highlands.. it was Nice up there. a Hell of a lot nicer than the Delta, Safer too  Temps were 80s and 90s and Not much humidity.
We humped the boonies a lot and some of the time I thought i was in the Engineers, we built 3 fire bases from scratch. I think one was LZ Mary Lou. I know i was at FB Bill, LZ No Slack, Dak To and Dok Lap.  I wish i could tell you more. they may not have been Leagle though.. 
My tour started in Aug or Sep of 68.. I dont have a lot of memory of it. When i left I was in a coma and when i woke up i had Total amneisa ..  So much of those times didnt return for me..

All my buddies in my unit called me Super Pickle.
