Happy Birthday to Me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(1/3) > >>

Booner:
Hey everybody!,

Actually, it's my second birthday" I have two.  My first birthday was when I was born, and my second is the day I got out of the army.  38 years ago today I became a free man when the U.S. Army and I parted company. I think I was 20 at the time and it was the happiest day of my life.  I was so happy to be getting out that for two weeks prior i couldn't talk; I was smiling so much that I got cheek spasms! And I can even remember some of the thing I did on my first night of freedom....Thank God we have a statute of limitations!

It was the early 70's and I had been drafted and back then being in the Army was not the place to be. Thank God we treat people serving in the military a lot different now. I went back to college and told very few people that I had served. At that time if you served you didn't talk about it.  It's different now; I'm very proud to have had the opportunity to have served my country and to be part of a select group of men and women who are part of a very special fraternity.

To celebrate, I'm going to clean my kitchen and then go out to the range and exercise my 2ND amendment right and poke little holes in paper a great distances.

All the best,
Booner

Hey Booner,

There are some of us, in this country, that have ALWAYS been proud of you!
