attended a Memorial Day event at our town graveyard , put on by the local VFW , about 20+ vets attended

here is my great uncle who I was named after

he died fighting Rommel and the nazis at Kassarine Pass


Defending the pass was a force consisting of the U.S. 1st Battalion, 26th Regimental Combat Team, the U.S. 19th Combat Engineer Regiment, the 6th Field Artillery Battalion, a tank destroyer battalion and a battery of French artillery. On the hills to their west was French General Welvert's Task Force Welvert comprising a U.S. Ranger and infantry battalion, three French infantry battalions, two U.S. field artillery battalions, four French artillery batteries and engineer and anti-aircraft detachments. Furthest west was Task Force Bowen (consisting of the 3rd Battalion of the 26th Regimental Combat Team), blocking the track from Feriana towards Tebessa. Between Task Force Bowen and Tebessa to the north was the regrouping 1st Armored Division although only Combat Command B was fit for combat.[19] The positions in the pass had been placed under Colonel Alexander Stark, commander of the 26th RCT, on the night of February 18 and the command named Stark Force.[26]

Gooode morning and thank you to those who gave their freedom so that I might enjoy mine. Thanks and Semper Fi to all ya'll who served.

A fruitful day spent at Auto Cad designing stash boxes. I have a family member serving time and working in the prison woodshop for spending money. I've designed a couple stash boxes, and will work on a toy box for Miss Layla today, He has access to most kinds of wood, so I designed the stash box with fancy inlay or 3D-milling of a logo.

Here is a box that I previously had made for Hashmaster Kut done on a 3D mill:

I'm leaning toward the same inlay as we have for our dining table:

We are CARBON based lifeforms as is ALL LIFE on the planet. I thought that the TPTB were Lizards (CBLF's) and loved a hot climate. Guess they are Silicon lifeforms (AI's) and must be kept cool to keep from melting down. Just like a computer they want to hit the RESET button.

Putting on new tin today...dammn the 35mph gusts. This is the last day I'll have help till next weekend and I want to go fishing then... Everything up to this point. I did by myself.

Handsome Men.
 
Happy Memorial Day, shipmates. Between the beers and burgers, take a moment to remember the people that this day was dedicated to. Hug your loved ones, and pray for the fallen.


Made me cry ya *******
