Here's my family. Nancy, my son, Jay, our "adopted" girls, Kirsten and Kayla, and The Squeak. We live in Coatesville, PA and come from Massachusetts, Ohio, PA and Michigan. The New England Patriots are our favorite team as are the World Champion Red Sox. I like photography and drag racing as hobbies. Nancy is a 2 time Fantasy Football Super Bowl Champion this year on NFL Fantasy Football! Can you believe that!!!

Nam..Will We Ever Be The Same?

As you know I am a Nam vet. I found this picture of a friend of mine and me back in 1969. I was in the 23rd Infantry Division with the 3/18 Arty. We supported the Marines and Special forces in I Corp. We had 175 and 8" Self-Propelled Howitzers. The biggest guns in the Nam war. We were stationed outside Chu Lai, the Marine Airbase where they flew to Hanoi daily on bombing missions. We rotated constantly to various LZ's throughout the Americal Division and I Corp. I was at An Khe most of the time in C Battery. Unfortunately the American public stabbed us in the back along with our government and we were forced to retreat and the government lost the war and many more American friends died without purpose. Please don't murder our troops again this time, in Iraq. When you retreat you die there.. And if you didn't die there, you did back home as Nam Vets found out, by the hatefulness of the American public and media. We thank you all, who did support us back then. You know, we never lost a battle in Viet Nam, not one! What we lost were thousands of our friends, the children of America and the future they could have made for us here at home today, a future which now is a country without courage and patriotism and a government now destroying the Nam Vet without granting their benefits. God bless our troops in Iraq and Afganistan. We love you women and men, we really do. You are welcome back here this time, anytime and anywhere. Please come and see us at the Wall.

Watching whitecaps roll into the ocean of blue. With a smile on my face just thinking of you. The sweet memories, the tender moments we've shared. They caress me like the soft breeze that fills the air. The loving feeling I get when I see your image. The summer night when I walked in the sand. Waves splashing on the rocks along the shoreline. Brings tears to my eyes knowing that you were there. Sharing a friendship like ours my happy heart sighs. Watching the white clouds carelessly floating by. That was where it all began. You are the love of my life... Cape Cod. Bring me back, please.
