Sitting in a bunker in King Khalid Military City, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Air Attacks had begun and we were under SCUD attacks. Coordinating to get Iowa National Guard 5 Ton Trucks to deliver anti-fratricide panels for the VII Corps Tanks and Bradleys before the ground offensive would begin. A couple of days later, we would watch this:
I still get chills. It meant so very much.

Yeah the Star Spangled Banner being sung before games use to be a big deal. And some of us still love that moment. But I am afraid it is passing away as a symbol of our great country as are many other things. NFL kind of dashed the concept.
Burning of the US flag is another event that irritates me. Maybe we need to get tougher on these acts.
And God is being bashed.
These values use to make America unique - but not so today.
Maybe we will wake up and it was just a nightmare we were having. I sure hope so.

A couple of days later, we would watch this: I still get chills. It meant so very much. The first few were scary. I was there from about the 15th to the 18th or 19th. We then moved to Sarar to set up the EPW camp. We started getting prisoners before the majority of our equipment arrived.

So...what's an anti-fratricide panel?
