Below is the link to the wsav story on the 1/75 memorial service today. I was not aware that Batt. switched to multicam, full color scroll/tab and full color CIB's/jump wings for the duty uniform. It looks damn sharp, and I hope the rest of the army looks at this and adopts it. The service looked moving, as always. Wasn't able to make it down to this one with the holidays around the corner and my brothers impending RASP graduation, but wish I could have been there.

Re: 1/75 Memorial footage
I was there for the last one back in May and although I knew better, I was "truly" hoping that it would be "the last one". Given MG Fuller's removal after his response to Karzai's comments about how he'd be on Pakistan's side "against us", I just cannot help but think "what a waste of Americas finest fighting men." I really think its time to get the hell outta there and just carpet bomb them SOBs weekly just for the hell of it. I know thats not the PC thing to say, but after watching this............ well thats what I'm feeling. Thanks for posting this Goon.
