Sam's was running similar prices (but you have to pay sales tax), we just bought 2 50" and a 55" for the new office...should be finished building next month

If it’s a box store, they will match prices.

They also mail $20-30 off coupons on a regular basis for big ticket items, plus double rewards points if you use the Star card.

Just finished "Hornet 33" by Ed Denny. He was a slick pilot in Viet Nam. Damn good book that can be a little hard to read at times due to the layout format in which it's written. This is more of a recollections format story by Mr. Denny than it is a autobio format.

So a good friend of mine's oldest son was going through Basic Training. As a Marine I wanted to make sure and send him some encouragement. I sent this letter....

I laughed. His Dad laughed. I am sure he pushed for it.

Today he graduated basic training at MCRD San Diego with a guest speaker. None other than the Secretary of War Mad Dog Mattis was there.

In 2006, I met up with SPC Franco while in the Wounded Warrior Program at BAMC, this dude was F’d up pretty bad from a car wreck, he had a short lived career with the military. After some rehabilitation he had another wreck, from a seizure while driving and he blacked out, later it was determined he had TBI. I have kept in touch with him over the years and like to share one of his next chapters in life. He is a fitness trainer and can dead lift damn near 600lbs, it’s hard for me to think this is the same person because I remember him from back then and seeing his injuries and him sitting in that wheel chair.

Nice to receive letters/correspondence from deployed friends, at no cost to them for them to mail.

Navy? Friend of yours? Not being factitious, just wondering why they mentioned Navy when you were in the Army.

So no pop tart? Dang. I wonder which PX he picked that up at.

He travels to Kuwait often, one of those bases over there has a pretty big military clothing store. This guy gets to go with pretty much any unit he chooses to go out on patrol/operation/surveillance/
