#6 Some of my favorite memories are of "Army Day" at Ft. Campbell Kentucky, Dad was a Major (Army) then, and I remember getting to "Jump" (Tower like paratrooper training) and shooting a .30 machine gun (Tripod mount, blanks I'm sure) what a thrill, I thought of this when seeing the above picture of the kid next to the tripod mount gun, that kid could be me. (A bit older, but not much)
