Craig, thanks for the reminder. It's also Flag day today. Old Glory is out front of the house.

Not worthless really but sure would be nice to see it waving at your house. I snagged this image from an older post by 2-Ton (May 2021) which was cool.

Indeed -- A very happy birthday indeed to the United States Army!
And oh by the way, I do have a connection ... I spent a year at Marion Military Institute (Marion, AL) prepping to enter the Naval Academy. I was in Army ROTC and rocketed my way all the way to the exalted rank of Cadet Corporal. So I was at least an NCO.
So Hoo AH!!

Nevermind the Ferd in the background, but it was blocking the view of the mountains up the road. A beautiful day here. First one above 70F today.

My Army days were not bad but I could not have stayed the distance to get a pension. I am to independent. How my brother stayed 23 years in Air Force I can't figure and then he worked at Wright Patterson AB 24 years until retirement. BTW a flag flys dailey out side my house.
