... can't even get close to yours ... the exact day only The Avianca Airline flight bound for Quito, Equador crashed , dropped a flaming mass of metal, into a ravine . None of the passengers in the DC-4 ever knew what happened; they died instantly.
One of the greatest men ever was born to a country family in the hills of Maryland . A true
saint and patriot ... a man among men ... handsome and daring . Loved and cherished by all including all his peers . Women have been known to faint when he enters a room .
The second one is all ...... Edited by mercenary1947 - May/08/2008 at 14:30 |

Well dear ... no war stories ... lost a few best friends ... I was no Rambo or John Wayne .
I thank God I was a country boy and knew alot about firearms and hunting . Now if you want stories about booze ... bucu women and wild times .... they're another total storyline altogether . It still hurts thinking of some things even after all these years . I've been to the memorial in DC a couple times and yea I salute the wall and tears roll .
