First Intro --6 year member

[wlo48]

I started being a MOPAR nut in 1966. Since then I have had too many to list. My favorite is the 66-67 Charger. Had 5 at one time, along with 1-66 Coronet. All big blocks, various colors, both auto and manual trans. My first Charger was bought as a interior fire and ended up being my favorite. I put in a 440, and ran either a Holley 4 barrel or the factory 6 Pack set I found, still have it but pieces are missing so it is not complete now.

I am a 34 year Army veteran. Joined in 1967, went to Vietnam, lost some good friends, and got out. Re-entered service in 1979 and retired in 2007 as a Major Military Policeman. Lost my right leg in 2004 and my right pelvic bone in 2011. Can't wear a prosthetic leg because the pelvic is missing. Was "allowed" to serve 3 years after the leg was amputated.

I ride a 1991 Harley Davidson Springer Softail with a sidecar and a CanAm Spyder. It has reverse. Currently working on a 67 Barracuda Convertible. Wish it were a Charger, but can't have everything.

Your Welcome. Would do it again if I could. They had to force me out.

Your Welcome. Would do it again if I could. They had to force me out.

That seems to be a recurring statement with most members of the US military, ones that I've interacted with anyway.

Same here. I served with many that felt this way..We took the Oath and there is no expiration date on it.

Your most welcome for all. Haven't forgotten all of you.
wife is out of town and I am being a party of one taking semi care of my 88 year old dad and her 88 year old dad. gets kinda hectic at times.
you guys are making up for the #$%^ I got when I returned from Vietnam University. I say that because I sure did learn a BUNCH of useless stuff while over there.
