Old war horseTaken from the DailyCommercial.com (8 July 2010): http://www.dailycommercial.com/localnews/story/070810calvary Click Read More below to read the entire article. Soldier was one of the last of WWII mounted troops THERESA CAMPBELL Staff Writer Leading 2,400 mules, each packed with 300 pounds of supplies and ammunition, Barney Miller of Wildwood marvels how he and his fellow soldiers survived a 400-mile march across rivers, jungles and mountains as they fought the Japanese in the China-Burma-India Theater of World War II. "Six mules were used to carry one cannon," Miller, 86, said. His unit, the 124th Cavalry, became known as the last horse cavalry regiment in the U.S. Army. "We did things that we thought we would never accomplish," he said of marching from dawn to dusk for nearly six months on muggy hot days and through many monsoons with their mule supply train. "You think that you'd never be able to do those things, but you'd do them." Posted by SFCWyatt Tuesday, July 20, 2010 (11:40:18) Read More... (5.07 KB) | comments? |

Fort Hood ShootingNot sure if anyone would come to this site to find info but I noticed that it's difficult to find any phone numbers to Fort Hood to find out if your family is ok. Since a lot of people who would be interested in the site also have ties to the military and, consequently, to Fort Hood, I thought I'd post what I've found. Family Hotline numbers: toll free: 866-836-2751 local: 254-288-7570 Rumor has it, the phone circuits are overloaded, and I suspect that's a reasonable conclusion given the circumstances. Cell phone towers will be overloaded as well so if anyone is having difficulty contacting family and friends in the Killeen area, that would probably be the reason. Texting may be a little more reliable but even that will take longer than usual. Posted by SFCWyatt Friday, November 06, 2009 (16:49:42) comments? |

Pistol OrderI received an email from Para about the pistol I posted about below. Apparently, there are only 9 pistols ordered so far. Until we meet the 32 pistol minimum, they won't process the order. They will keep it open a while longer to see if they can get more orders in, so if you're still interested, you still have time to place your order.
