In the next week or so I am going to crack open Atkinson's "Liberation" trilogy. You know, because after reading the 900+ page LoA biography, tomes, rather than books seem to be more my speed!!! {sm4}{sm4}

Fat chance though a Merkava could probably fit in somewhere with one particular manufacturer's current offerings. I have lobbied for a Bradley for years but to no avail. Figarti's Abrams were stellar and at one time I owned 4 of them. The Stryker was a terrible choice as it is a substandard...

A young 17 year old Corporal recently recovered from Korea. Can't imagine how difficult that had to be as a parent. Soldier Accounted for from Korean War (Seloover, R.) > Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency > PressReleaseArticleView (dpaa.mil)

So far as I am aware, yes, it is still going on. I plan on attending.

Watching my son play baseball. A lot of parents miss the "little league" days but now that he is a senior in high school and will be playing in college, I just love it so much more. It really is a lot better than little league. Anyway, I cant imagine what that is going to be like when I set up...

Where did the Kettenkrad come from? Is that a new release?

One of my two roommates when I was with the 5ID served with the 3AD (Spearhead) and got blown out of the drivers hatch of his 113 when he ran over a landmine as Desert Storm kicked off and they moved into Kuwait- pretty sure he said it was the opening night of the War. He got bruised up a little...

The excellence of this range gives me hope that perhaps one day FL will tackle modern warfare in the GWOT. Abrams, Bradley's, Hummers, MRAP's,,,,,no Strykers please! {sm4}

Kind of gave me the chills when I saw this come across ESPN around lunch time- I had a "what is such and such doing these days" moment on Tuesday afternoon and went onto Wikipedia and typed in OJ's name.......a day and a half later he's dead- brrrrrrrrrrrrrr.....heebie jeebies......That was the...

{sm4}{sm4} Well my friend you are welcome to adopt him as he's spending the next 4 years playing baseball out there at Eastern U in your neck of the woods!!!

Had lunch at the VFW yesterday and someone put this gem on the jukebox- just fantastic, catchy tune and I was instantly hooked!!!! Sink The Bismarck - Johnny Horton (youtube.com)

Brad and tmanthegreat You guys are making life really difficult for me!!! {sm4} Looks like i might have to figure something out here to make room for that 113.....it is such an iconic piece of US Army history. I feel like the Huey was the iconic vehicle for Nam, followed by the 113- the Patton...

Raising an 18 year old high school senior who is bull headed and doesn't listen!

Just finished "Remember the Ramrods" written by David Bellavia MOH. This book was given to me by my daughter for Christmas in 2022. It highlights his extraordinary tour during the second battle of Fallujah and recounts his extraordinary journey during the 15 years between his MOH actions and...

I remember when FL announced this range and was definitely interested but held off as I didn't want to start another range. Saw them at the toy soldier shows and was definitely impressed- FL's style really made them stand out (would prefer to see the flashlight lense be a little more subdued...

Mike- I see you get the same "ValPak" junk mail I get here in Pennsylvania! {sm4} Great looking scenes my friend- you are a one man WB Advertisising wrecking crew! My wife and I went to see a WW2 vet speak last Thursday night and he swore by the M2 "grease" gun. I was never much of a fan but...

Here's a story published in the papers in Norfolk back in 1942 of a mother who found a newspaper cameraman asking to have her son's picture in the paper. Pretty gut wrenching to read- though it is hard as the type is pretty small, it's worth a read. USS California Sailor Accounted for from...

Ha ha--cheers for the kind words Kevin..........looks like you took a page out of my playbook and took your toy soldiers outside to get some pics in the natural sunlight! {sm4}{sm4} That's what that PzIII looks like at any rate. Fantastic scenes as always my friend.

Hey fellas Just re-up'd with the Britains Collectors Club. Picked up the WW2 US Tanker but the Norman standard bearer was just calling to me so I added him to the mix. Both troopers just arrived and the Norman is FANTASTIC! The Green and Yellow color scheme and the dragon kite really make the...
