TogetherWeServed

Not that anyone has missed me since no one sees this but me but I know I've been remiss but things at work have been bad. If you have ever had virus run through your network you understand. Days are long and night only brings the "what's going to happen tomorrow" syndrome I've been in for 6 weeks. God help me if I ever find these a--holes who create these things, I'll be on my way to jail so fast. Six weeks and still fighting the son of a bi---. But that's my problem.

Why I wanted to post is because of a GREAT website for those of us that can't find people we served with. I know everyone knows about it, but we neglect to go and do things when we hear about them. I did know of this site, but blew it off because of my love of CTO SeaDogs. But this site is one of the best I've ever run across for those of us that want to feel that service connection again. Cripes I found 6 people I haven't thought about for years. Each branch has their own site. But GOOGLE it and you find the right one for you. I am thrilled. I found someone that I served with back in 1979 that I forgot all about until I looked at his profile and it all came rushing back. Really if you think you are immune you aren't, trust me. I am going back now just to look. Those of us that served know how important it is to remember everyone not just our friends because you never know. You could be fighting next to them someday or they'd save your life the next. Only those of us who had b---s enough to go understand. So if you did, please check out the site of your branch. You never know if you are going to find someone you haven't thought about for years or not. I put in one of my commands (Valley Forge what else) and found that some of my old crew was in there (they worked for me). Wow. And I thought I would never hear from these guys again after I left the ship. Check it out. You might surprise yourself.
