    Hello Folks,
    Im new here.... Found your forums while looking up info On Dr Aryck AKA Aryeh AKA Lynette Nusbacher... I saw some of your posts on this individual and i was pleasantly surprized and Quite amused... Im a 37 year old Career infantry officer in the US Army... Im Also the father of a 3 year old world war 2 war birds fanatic... My son Collin can tell ya what is a P-47 (OR JUG) as he calls it. A P-51 Mustang. a P-38 and the F4u Corsiar and the Sptifie LOL. We frequant the airshows in the summer... Ive been a world War 2 buff since i was about 7 beleive it or not.. My Mom Wouldnt let me read comic books at that age, So i brought home the book The Oral History of World War 2 by Robert Leckie from the library.... She objected to that Untill My father intervened and said "AT least he's learning something", lol.. As a small boy i was a bit odd. Most boys looked up to the football heroes and the action stars in the movies. I looked up to my uncle Who was a paratrooper in the a/1/502nd parachute infantry regiment. 101st Airborne division... he participated in the Normandy. Market garden jumps... and was wounded and shipped Home during the battle of the Bulge... in jan 1945. I Guess me becoming a soldier was in my blood... I enlisted as An infantry rifleman at age 17.. I spent 6 years as an enlisted man Serving In the 2nd Infantry division. 82nd Airborne division and B/3/75th Ranger Regiment... I Got out of the army in 1995 And attended college while going thru the Army Green to Gold program. Getting MY BA in history and My commision as a 2nd lieutenant in the Infantry... Ive served in the 11th Armoured Cavalry regiment as a Mortar Plt leader. the 325th Airborne infantry regiment of the 82nd Abn as a Company Executive officer and a Rifle company commander... Now I teach Army ROTC courses At Butler University here in indianapolis Untill i get reasssigned or Deploy again which ever comes first LOL


    To All the combat veterans in the forum... Thank you for your service and sacrifice and My freedom..
