    Ray, sometimes you find the most amazing items to post. I found this one to be one of them. I would never have imagined a monument such as this. Thanks.

    (couldn't help wondering seeing all the services mentioned on the monument are 'wet' ...)

    I shared a "foxhole" with a chaplain once. He told me God would watch over us. Funny that the atheist wasn't the one who went home in a bag, isn't it?

    Nope. He was universally considered a moron for humpin' the boonies when he could have been a good little REMF.
