Widder, SASS #59054 Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 (edited) On this date in 1969, I was stepping off a plane in Morocco, heading for a communications outpost on the edges of a shanty little village called Sidi Yahia. 16 Months equated to 2 Christmas's, 2 Birthdays, 1 Thanksgiving, and a couple 'Dear John' letters from High School Sweethearts who discovered greater love with a non military man..... It still feels special to be home for Christmas! Merry Christmas to all those who have served and those who still stand a post so that the rest of us can enjoy this Holiday..... peacefully! ..........Widder Edited December 17, 2016 by Widowmaker Hill SASS #59054 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Widder, SASS #59054 Posted December 18, 2016 Author Share Posted December 18, 2016 Widder you are so popular you just can't get any more so. (hint clean your inbox ) C.W. C.W. I sent you a PM. Just reply to that PM and I should get it. A Couple of Dear Johns? Maybe the girls got together. Welcome home pard. Actually, there were 3 of them. But, 2 of them only lived 1 block from each other. One wasn't jealous and didn't feel any competition. But the other one didn't like 'my friend' at all. Keeping the 'hotties back home' happy was a tough job but somebody had to do it... ..........Widder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
