To ALL you septic tanks

:classic:

Between June '65 and June '66 I had the pleasure of meeting quite a few of you Yanks. They were members of the 173rd Airborne Brigade, based at Bien Hoa, South Vietnam.

Now, while the main reason for this post is to wish all you ZED car blokes a Merry Xmas and an enjoyable and SAFE festive season, If any of you know someone who was with the 173rd. (Otherwise known as "The Herd"), would you please pass on my respects to them as well.

Do you realise that Santa delivers here first, before he visits you lot?????????? I guess you COULD say that you just get our leftovers.

hope he got my letter.

Santa packs his bag with the First Choice Toys and Best Packaged Toys FIRST, then he puts in everything that was deemed "seconds" and fragile stuff.

Then when he's delivering he takes out seconds and fragile stuff FIRST, then when he gets to our part of the globe all he has left are FIRST's and BEST's!

I missed Vietnam by only a few months, I did register for the draft for it although I was classified 1F if I recall (eligible but waived due to administrative orders [just after the draft for Viet Nam was cancelled]). I did serve in the Air Force some years later for 7 years, so I am still a "vet".

Along with you, I salute all those members who served in Vietnam, in whatever capacity. And since you must have been there in some capacity, you deserve a SALUTE as well.

Thanks for serving.

Enrique,

I GIVE UP, SURRENDER, CAPITULATE EVEN.

YOU WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

However,

Did you know that The Fat Man In Red, whilst in The Land Down Under, only uses reindeer in the colder areas??????????????

When he heads into The Outback he hitches up a team of kangaroos 'cause they can handle the heat.

The bearded Aussie entertainer Rolf Harris told the story in his recording of the song "Six White Boomers". (Boomers are bloody BIG kangaroos).

Regards,

Rick.
