Good evening, IOt is with heavy heart that I have to say one of my uncles has been found in North Vietnam. He's coming home......at last. Excuse me if I sound upset, but.... The POW/MIA now means a helluva lot more. God bless every other family waiting for the return of a loved one. Sam

Just had a few thoughts I thought I would share with you and nothing big just thinking of the past. I suppose all you vets that came back from Vietam , where probably just like me. After I come back to the states I really never thought about Vietnam. For the rest of my career the subject just didn't seem to come up. After retiring from my civilian job with a lot of time on my hands I found the Herky Bird site and Vietnam came back to my memory like it was yesterday. There is no way we can thank Sam and Casey for all the work they have put in keeping this site going we all ouw lot to them. Like a lot of flight engineers we have a maintenance background …

So if you see this and sent me a message that I didn't respond to try it again or you can email me direct at [email protected] Also there is someone here that shoots and lives in Pensacola, I am trying to find out if NAS Pensacola had a range open to shooters? Sorry guys but my brain just dont track somethings very well anymore! Dan

Good morning guy's Haven't been around much lately, 'cause of cardiac problems, but The VA generously implanted a pacemaker a couple weeks ago and I'm feeling a bit better now, so I hope to be on board more often. While I was down and out I did look in now and then even if I didn't actually sign in; anyway, I have a question. Wife and I will be traveling past Warner Robbins next week. We have visited the museum there before, so I'm not inclined to do that again, but I'm wondering if there are any Herks "on base". We both have our brown DOD card and have access to the base and we'll stop at the BX for sure, but is there anyone out there in Hercules.net land that kno…

Last week one of the guys that I met on this forum came to Montana for his second visit! Chris and his wife Mary have become good friends with my wife and I and we look forward to seeing them every year!! (I may have to go to Wisconsin to see them next year)! I'm going to try Chris!!! These two pictures are taken near the summit of Beartooth Pass. I think the elevation there is around 10,281 ft. This is on the way from my home in Columbus to the North East entrance to Yellowstone Park. Silver Gate MT. We had a good time and Chris told me some more "war stories" of course I had none to offer!!!! I think it would be great to be able to meet all of y…

www.afblues.com This is a web comic from an Air Force stand point. I've been following for a long time, and it's pretty funny stuff. The main character is an F-15 pilot, but some stuff translates to all planes, and all services. P. S. I hope it's okay to post this. If not, I won't be offended it disappears!

As the title says, I went and did it-----I applied for VA Health Benefits just to see if I qualified and just received notification that I am eligible for care as a Priority 6 veteran!! This process only took about a week from start to finish!! I am supposed to schedule an appointment with the Billings Clinic whenever I am ready. Now, my questions are, is this a physical?. I could go to the VA clinic in Billings (only 40 miles) to ask these questions but would rather ask some of you "experienced" guys first. We speak the same language!! Muff, I hope you are reading this as I think from what I have seen on this forum, you are directly involved in answering questions that …

I really really feel bad for our guys over in Afghanistan when buttmunching idiot's like this are in charge of our boots on the ground. Dear God, is he McNamaras kid or something? I think he needs a good bayonetting, how can you have peace with a group who's sole goal is to destroy you and your way of life.

Okay, guys, i figure if I can get good info on something, I can get it here. after years and I do mean years, I have found most of my old slides and picture and negatives from my years as a TAC trained killer. and, no Chris, they are NOT deguerreatypes. I want to digitalize them, and want some ideas on a converter. I read the reviews on many of them and still can't tell which is worth getting. I figure some of you, at least, have done this with your stuff, so any advice would be greatly appreciated... thanks Giz
