My credo
Crossed threads are tight threads.
Earthly life is not easy. This short life is merely a testing phase. The souls of your son, his murderer, and the rest of us, will eventually end up where they belong.

I know who has my 76 Bronco. Winning the Lottery wasn't working out for me. Had to let it go.

I decided to just make a new start... some new memories. Darn thing makes me smile and dream all the time. Even though progress has been slow... a fella has to have something to look forward to.

So keep looking forward... find new ways to smile.

May God bless you!

It’s good to hear that you’re feeling better DG! Have you tried looking into the holistics and hippy stuff like herbs and grounding? It might be worth a try, to see if it actually works for you. Just something that works to relieve the stress and keep your mind straight. I know PTSD ain’t no joke.

If you can move on...thats good. Me...I had a dream about my Ranger last night. In the dream I was able to buy it back. It only needed a little bit of maintenance to pass the State Safety Inspection.
I should have taken a picture of it in my dream!:worthless:

R.F. It was ROUGH (again). The V.A. put me back on the meds that I took 16 years ago, but became allergic to. The meds are working good again without side effects. Good thing they work...I was remembering some things that had me "foaming-at-the-mouth MAD"!

DG, good to see you back. To quote a member from earlier, "it's good to know that you're above ground."

I've been AFK from TRS for about a year. Really glad to see you post again. I was shocked and went back 10 pages to catch up. I lost my job last year, got divorced, lost a lot financially, and am now trying to rebuild. Got a great new job though.

I'll see if I have any pics from our section of the banner journey at the fast food joint. Who knows?

Ag....I tried the best I could to put pics back into the thread. As we said in Nam...You gotta roll with the explosions!

Any pics you guys find will be helpful and I'll fit them in where they belong.

Take it easy and regroup a little at a time.
Yo' friend, doorgunner

B.W. Sorry for the late reply. I'm still kickin, but the PTSD is back and kickin harder.
It's a "Real Thrill" to remember a combat event that's been blocked from my memory for 50+ years!
Still no winning lottery ticket yet to buy my '34/'89 Ranger back!
