Last post for a while

[birdman]

I have been on Tnet for about three years and have been amazed at the history that has been dug by fellow members. I just finished what will probably be my last hunt for a good while (two Wheaties and a 58 nickle). Like many others before me on Tnet ,I am being deployed to Iraq but only for 6 months. I try not to complain being I know how easy I am going to have it compaired to the ground pounders that are winning this war. Remember that what you see on the news is only half truths and there is progress being made . The Media to me is fueling the enemies fire and not telling the stories of the heroes on the ground. I am in the AF and will be in side the wire the whole time so complaning is not an option when I will have it good compaired to most of the people over there. Good luck and I hope every one on here digs at least one gold coin ,just leave one for me when I get back.

The communications are pretty good over there and you can get on the net and drop us a line. Keep your head down and your chin up. You and thousands like you are heros in my book. Monty, former USAF

Birdman, thanks for all you do, and don't make it seem easier than it is. There is NO front line over there, therefore, not guaranteed safety inside the 'wire'. It's still a war zone, so keep your head down.

Thanks to your wife, and kids, too. They are paying a heavy price, too.

See you when you get back, and drop by Clarksville, TN. We'll go dig a bullet or two.

Take care of yourself. We are so blessed to be Americans it can not be described. I know we are all thankful for what we have but, sometimes we take it for granted. It was when I was in Vietnam that I realized what a great country we live in. You will be gone for 6 months but, you will still be here with us everyday.

From a 10 veteran of USAF I wish you the best and may God keep his hand on you. Smittymxt

First thing I want to say is thanks for all the kind words ! You all are the reason that Tnet has been such a fun and fantastic place to hang out. I got one of Highwater's coin rings to wear while I am over there and on the outside it says In "God We Trust "and "Liberty ". That pretty much says it all. 8) When I told him I was getting deployed he sent my wife a coin ring at no charge . He and all of you are a class act!!

God Bless you and the U.S.! I supply the weapons and fighting systems so that our boys on the ground can TAKE IT to the enemy! Thank you for doing your part, we all appreciate it!!!!!!

its sick the way the media idiots are ruining our country.i cant believe most people are swallowing it.no respect for those WINNING THIS WAR.and hoopla when some leftist mouthpiece leaves us. i say thanks to our fighting men the war has been kept over there. good riddance leftist mouthpiece , u were a DISGRACE TO OUR COUNTRY.too bad there are so many others like u .luckily we have one decent news at least but for the true good stuff i prefer the prentegron channel.knock em dead.were behind u. while u r fighting over there the biggest battle will be the elections here.i was at a municipal band concert last nite and half the people can hardly bother to stand when our national anthem is played.where are we headed.enough rant good luck. i AM heartened to see how many t netters got their heads on straight.
