Thanks for the advice...both of you. I talked to my sister, she actually has his discharge papers in Pa. (We are living in SC now). Hopefully we can get up there so I have a starting place at least. Thanks again!
Don't let Hollywood distort your impressions of realities such as "Band Of Brothers", Abbey.
In the theatres of operations of WAR we certainly are Brothers and now Sisters. Outside that theatre we all reserve the rights to kick the shit out of each other as deemed appropriate at the time. Gaffer is not and probably never will be a true friend of mine and I am happy with that conclusion. I tried, he/she failed. Fuck it!!!!!!!
krisy, I do not dislike gaffer but I do have a bone to pick with him. Out of nowhere I start getting neg reps, unintelligible remarks to some of my posts and downright insults from one that chooses to call himself "gaffer". I took it for a while but as I saw it was becoming a habit I shot back. I have never went after gaffer as he has done to me but I don't intend to take anymore of his shit without at least a response, humorous or otherwise.
Thanks for the ,krisy, but I am no officer and I only expect what my government has promised to it's veterans and to it's citizens.
If gaffer wants to communicate with me, my mailbox is open or he can post it and I will reply as I see it.
Thanks for your concern, krisy. You are a tried and true Trooper in my book!!!!
