Is it the hair?) and he had 3 veterans on stage with him, who were much more interesting.<BR/><BR/>So what did you think of episode 1?<BR/><BR/>btw, i've been trying to discover my father's war records...he is not deceased, and i am not next of kin, and he's not talking to me, so i think i'm pretty much SOL.<BR/>there's another link ($$) i'll send you with some good stuff on it.jeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15105083650427355181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5331213685542630258.post-16586576500201787012007-09-23T16:45:00.000-04:002007-09-23T16:45:00.000-04:00I've always been fascinated with those who served ...I've always been fascinated with those who served in the military. My brother is a Marine and my brother-in-law is a Marine who served in Iraq. It's always interesting to see the different connections made through war. My family didn't come to the US until the 70s, so we don't have much of a history here, but my grandfather was an army general who served under Shek and was captured and killed by the Communists. You're right. I think my 20 miler will pale in comparison.nylisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12482168148750655153noreply@blogger.com
