Reading Vet's stories in December - Walt's Daughter - 12-04-2006
Yes Doctor Rocky. Will pass along the prescription. Sounds like a damned good rememdy if I do say so! I guess I have to find something other than Jack though. We haven't been friends for about 20 years!

Something better yet. Hot cup of peppermint tea. Too bad you don,t live next door. I have peppermint plants in my backyard. Wife used to get me to go get some leaves and I would put them in a pot of water and let it boil for about 3 mins. She loved it when she had a cold ,best part ,,,,rub down,yea!! now just memories. I still make the tea. Rocky

It seems to me that beyond the frozen feet it would be hard to maintain a state of alertness in mind-numbing cold like that. I've been in minus 20 degree weather before, but thank God nobody was shooting at me, because I was so miserable that I might not have ducked!

"quote: Remember reports during December '44 and have read it many times since - That was one of the coldest Winters Europe ever had. Tell me about it!!!" How damn true Sarge. Remember it well. A Infantrymans worse nightmare. I think the '44-'45
winter hit record lows.. But I could be wrong..

Hey Joe and gang:
Take a look at this page for some quotes from Stephen Ambrose, etc, regarding that winter.

Marion; did you see the telephone lineman ? That is Exactly what I did when I went on patrol. I also climbed trees to string a line overhead across a road. Notice no M 1 rifle. only when on the line. Rocky

Cool Rocky. I will also think of you when looking up telephone poles!
We'll have to change the words to the old Glen Campbell song, "I am a lineman for the county", to "I am a lineman for the army..."

Good one Marion...How about "I am a lineman for the Red Bulls?" 
Speaking of them, I found a documentary about Red Bulls in WWII in the new DVD catalogue just received from International Historic Films.
