Now go forth, and be Free.

General Washington would want it that way.

Happy Independence Day

Happy Birthday

United States Army.

I kinda wish who ever had posted this to Facebook had linked the source, so we could get a look at the entire line, which, if you look carefully, alternates wars in each line.  I'd like to see "the right of the line", so to speak...

Here's a picture of me in my "office", 'way back when. The back of an EH-60 is not exactly luxurious...
The wife of one of our pilots was over for a visit, and she snapped this pic while sitting in his office.

Also, Happy Flag Day.

I understand it's also National Bourbon Day, or some such, which seems appropriate.

Flag Day, 2012.
This is also the 237th Birthday of the US Army. I couldn't find any videos I wanted to post here. It should be noted that many individual units--mostly, if not all, National Guard units--in the US Army predate the formation of the US Army by years; in at least one case, by over a century.
