Aye DG, when I got back up to FireBase Argonne, I was a wreck after watching my Buddy 'Doc' check out. I immediately jumped into a mortar pit, firing a mission to cover our withdrawal. With tears running down my face, I joined the ammo line passing ammo to the crew,and spit on every round I handled, until the Gunny came over and guided me back to my fighting position.

Aye DG, my lucky boots & yes the Afghan mud was hideous stuff, more so when the field had been recently irrigated.

So true! I was there during wintertime (11/'06-03/'07) Uruzgan province.

You live, laugh and cry together.

So true! As the circumstances allow for very quick bonding with your Mates. Doc and I came in country at about the same time, so we were two green guys, who bonded quickly, as we knew each other only slightly more than a month when he passed. And my world hasn't been the same since. It took me 35 years, but I did find his family, and told them what a hero he was.

During one of my tours in Bosnia I lost a platoonmember who died of a heart attack. And I new a guy very closely who served with me in Afghanistan. He was KIA 1 year later. Stepped on a IED. Lucky for him he did not suffer. He was gone in an instant.

Now little Merkel, if you are good, you will be chancellor one day.

The only reason I can come up with for two sun dials on the tower is the position of the church in relation to the sun's position at different times of the day, so that you would be able to tell the time all day - anyone else got other ideas?

Not just every time of the day, but all year round, considering the sun doesn't go that far NW in the winter in this part of the world.
