I still think of it as Armistice Day, being a Certified Olde Phart. Ring the bellls at 11AM on the eleventh day of the eleventh month. The end of the Great War, the war to end all wars.
Nope. Never happen. So, a few wars later we have Veteran's Day.
In order to keep it gun-related, let's talk about what we carried.
I went through Basic at Fort Bliss with the Garand. On occupation duty in South Korea in 1954/1955, I had an M2 Carbine. Somebody decided that I'd be okay as a squad leader and I must say that the M-16 hallftrack with a quad-50 mount was more fun. Here's my memory lane: http://home.comcast.net/~hlparmy/m16/
So what did you tote? Or fly or float upon or hump ammo for?
