The hometown paper puts out a special section every year at the Schweizerfest, and this year they are planning to feature stories and photos from veterans and people who helped support the nation's wars--all of them.

Am considering writing up something--could be about going to the Gulf in 1991, or Sep 11, or sitting off the coast of Pakistan steaming slow circles around the amphibs. Could mention lots of stuff, can't mention some things, of course. I doubt they want drunk bar-stories, of which I have several.

But if they chose to print any of it, the family would sure be tickled.
