This post is to honor all the veterans who have given ....


Nov 11, 2017, 5:57 AM

so much to defend and honor our country. In particular, I would like to honor my brother-in-law, Gene.

Gene served honorably in Vietnam and was a tunnel rat. For those of you who do not what a tunnel rat is- he basically had to crawl on his belly through small unlit tunnels under the ground with a flashlight and a weapon to find and fight the enemy. Gene survived his encounters with the Viet Cong but is losing his fight with lung cancer thought to be caused by agent orange(a chemical sprayed by the military from the air as a defoliant in Vietnam). He is in the last stages of hospice care and this will be his last Veterans Day so think of Gene in your prayers. I have included a link to a movie trailer called tunnel rats which will give you guys a small idea of what he went through and a link to agent orange.

I was formally known as Furious george and have changed my name to match the name I use to call on WCCP radio.
