"Threadjack On"

Adroomi, here's a site for a good buddy of mine...

Todd Bracy, he was my 2 man on a 3 man weapons crew and I brought him up through 6 yrs of training... he and another weapons guy got the slots to become F-16 pilots and Todd went for it.. he washed out of Fighter Pilots school, but they gave him his own cargo hauler... C-130... this past March his plane went down in the Mountians while on a mission...

His Dad was a Chaplin at our base.. now ret. lt.col. and a damn fine man himself...

Big Al's,

I don't go in that place.. it was a bar across the street from there... last time I was in Big Al's I was about 10 yrs old (daytime) and I was drinking coke and watching the lady's audition while my Dad (self contractor) replaced a toilet that some guy used another guy's head to bust off the wall... that would have been about 1975-76 I think? I've only been in one strip bar in Illinois and that was a fluke from a poker run.. I don't agree with paying money for something ya can't touch LOL

I'm sorry to see that Hog. It's a shame, but as you remember, it's the job we did by choice. I had the chance to work with the 352d SOG a few years back. They did the overhead stuff for us. A good group of men.

You find yourself reading the papers and looking for names...it's sad.

Every time I hear of a CH-47 or an MH-47 going down (and they do it quite regularly these days), I start making phone calls. My words when I call are usually the same words that I hear when someone calls me......."who was it?"
