My dad had been a tank company commander in WWII so I was fascinated by all the stories. Also I read "Guadalcanal Diary" by Richard Tregaskis, another classic from that era. Do you know the Willie and Joe cartoons of Bill Mauldin? Priceless. If they are publicly available, maybe drop one of those in your blog every once in a while. I can still remember a bunch of them - about tanks: "I don't know, Willie, a movin' foxhole attracts too much attention!"; when in a foxhole, Willie says to Joe (or vice versa), "Why couldn't you have been born a beautiful woman?" Etc. <br /><br />As far as not remembering things you have, I can totally relate. Was looking in my safe a while back for a receiver I had bought for an M1A, thinking I ought to get it built into a rifle before parts dried up even more than they have. Looked all over the place for it. Then realized I had already had had it built up about a year prior! <br /><br />We share a similar affinity for guns and dogs and other stuff. Have had mostly shepherds over the years, although had a Glass Eyed Catahoula Leopard Dog that was damn good and damn smart! Really sweet as well.lost her last year and our last shepherd passéd about 18 months ago. So definitely time for another one or two. <br /><br />Sorry to ramble a bit - enjoy your blog, been catching up on a lot of your old posts. Hope you're feeling better. I remember my mom talking about how getting old isn't for sissies, and I am learning what she meant.
