<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jim Dale, post: 7881852, member: 100459&quot;]Wow!&nbsp; Back in 1969, I was in the 82nd Airborne Division at Fort Bragg.&nbsp; While there, we were called to New York to watch out for looting and other horrible things.&nbsp; I had an M16 and a 45 and we marched down the street watching for anything wrong.&nbsp; They really set us up because I had 4 magazines for the M16 and some for the 45.&nbsp; Luckily, I didn&#039;t have to use them.&nbsp; I am 6&#039;2&quot; and all the guys that were over 6 feet were put in the front when we marched.</p><p>A year later, someone told us there was going to be another group against the Vietnam War.&nbsp; They called it Moritorium Day (I can&#039;t spell worth a hoot?)&nbsp; Anyway, were called up to got to Washington D.C.&nbsp; That was 1969 and we were loaded up again, but this time we had to watch out for the mob of college kids that were trying to get to the White House and the Capital Building.&nbsp; We were on the steps of the Capital and we were ordered to shoot over their heads.&nbsp; Evidently, some of the guys didn&#039;t hear to shoot over their heads because about 20 people were killed or wounded.</p><p>I never wanted to go through that again.&nbsp; Luckily, I was able to stay in the States the rest of my tour.&nbsp; My brother and father weren&#039;t so lucky.&nbsp; My Dad go hit by a Rocket and was medivaced home.&nbsp; Three months later, my brother was in the bay when the ship he was serving on got hit.&nbsp; He is 71 and still reliving that day.&nbsp; I would say my family paid their dues for our country.</p><p>Please!&nbsp; Take a moment and remember our brothers and sisters that were killed by those crazy terrorists on 9/11.&nbsp; At least, they won&#039;t have another chance to do any damage.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
