Good show then. And Bish--Andreas--take it slow and have the best time you can. Hopefully ottos will be back and refreashed when you both get here. Heh heh--we ALL will have a chest full of decorations to sport. I think mine will resemble Sepp Dietrichs awards. Last I saw--he had at least 18 from both ww1 and ww2. He was the one who had a double row of ribbon bars that he wore. I figure by my number--I think I will have around 12?? anyway--im catching up to Sepp Dietrich. Last I saw--I had 6, and should have about 5 more by now possibly 6. Erich B. is a close second and should have about 6 of his own and Otto should have 5. It will be interesting to see what everyone else will have as well. Once you do 10 posts--you get your first "award" icon.
PS, everyone in this topic will have at least 1 "award" icon (Doc Raider) to at least 4-5 (not including the ones already mentioned. I wonder what the other "award" icons medals will be? I sent Otto pics of several from my collection to use if he wished, and of course--they were German.
I dont know, but, there was one here--I had already got it. I dont know if Otto will continue to use it as an "award" icon or not. Apparently last year-one person got a bit quirky as to the use of its image. Personally I saw nothing wrong with it--it wasnt used in or meant to be disrespectfull to the men who recieved this award--not in any way-shape or form. If that is the case--what about all the other "awards"? If I recall, I had the Purple Heart, some japanese valor award, a German Wound Badge in Gold, something, and something, then I had the CMoH. Im almost clueless as what Otto has in store for us. Maybe he decided to use some of the Imperial German awards I sent him pics of--or some of the Regimental Crosses I also sent him pics of. I think Otto will be back here in about 4 weeks--and definately counting.
Looks like I'm the youngest one here. Who can I call grandpa. Just Kidding. I can't wait till Otto gets back.
21 going on 22 this october 10th! Also i plan on joining the national guard next year. hmmm i think that makes me 3rd or 4th youngest!
Well, i will say with mush pride that i am second youngest, me and Panzergrenadiere!!!! Hehehehe-uh, its great to be young
I think i should get a reward for being the youngest here...just turned 17 during the first week of March. Oh...i promise i will post more often... Otto - the book reviews are in the works, been busy with soccer, SATs, and Track. (we just one the State Prep B championship...we had 180 odd points, 2nd place only had 90!)
20, will be 21 3. June. Should be a good time - Bar Hopping with my sister in Indianapolis one weekend, the following weekend Cigar Parlours in Chicago! Ah, if I only had more cash!
Sorry, but I'm still the youngest. I don't turn 17 till November 30 of this year. Modus we gotta remember to celebrate your birthday 25th panzergrenadiere style.
Modus--if you choose to go to Cigar bars--expect to pay no less than $50.00 for a Cohiba. otherwise--I hope you have the best of times with your sister.
Yeah, Cohiba's are expensive... A friend paid a debt to me with a Padron 1964 Anniversary Series, and that was quite exquisite. (Rated 92, very smooth - Figurado, 52 Ring Guage) I'll settle for the good friends, some Cognac, and a few stogies!
Well--you got the friends here--the stogies there. A friend of mine remembers that prices for a Coheba back in 1962 in New York were $9.00.
