Al Kincer just told me about a great manual that I will be picking up in the near future. This is what he said:

There is an engineer manual, TM 5-35, is the basic manual that makes engineers out of farm boys. Really it is a wonderful manual. If you get a chance to pick one up it would go well in your library.

I also just found this great article on the Bailey Bridge.

Hi All:

Just received this today, so I am sharing it with all of you.

--------------------

Dear Friend:

My name is Bill Kisse.

I've attended the Battle of the Bulge Reenactment for the past four years with my Dad - a veteran of the battle in the Ardennes.

Please enjoy my videos and photo slide shows of the event available through this link.

Select Hi-Res streaming if you have a high-speed Internet connection, and Lo-Res if you're on a dial-up.

I've also included video of my Dad's recollections of his time fighting in Europe.

Many thanks for your participation and making this reenactment enjoyable for all of us.

Please look for my Dad, Sparky, in the veterans barracks next year - God willing, he'll be there with us!

Feel free to forward this link.

Warmest Regards.

Bill Kisse

Doctor's Office Joke

A little off-beat humor to break the monotony! LOL

Two children are in a doctor's waiting room,

and one of them is crying.

"Why are you crying?" asked the other child.

"I'm here for a blood test,

and they're going to cut my finger."

When he heard this,

the other child started to cry.

"Why are you crying?"

"I'm here for a urine test!"
