One of the reasons that I thought this topic might prove interesting is because of the service experience itself. By that, I mean, the forced comming together of thousands of strangers, who had to learn to live (and fight) together. My Army (medic) experience had a profound effect on me. I often wonder about where some of my service friends are. My reference to the song in my first posting relates to a new friend I made. He was native New York. We were stationed in Texas. We had Sundays free. We'd take our guitars and go to the local zoo. Our goal was to sing songs ... pick up girls ... get in trouble ... etc. (I learned a LOT of songs). CHEERS, Bob
