YELLOW RIBBON THREAD

Post by Darth Wong »

Just FYI, the following members of our board are currently serving in the Persian Gulf:
  • Guyver (USMC)
  • Mr Bean (USN)
  • CmdWilkens (USMC)
This thread will remain up until they return home. Hopefully, they will return home safely, and with interesting stories for all of us to hear.

EDIT: Cmdwilkens added 2003/03/29

Ya'll do me a favor and be mindful of a friend of mine, PFC Jimmie Bass USMC, neither I or his family has heard anything from him since the fighting started. I imagine he's somewhere around Basra right now.

One of my friend's dad is an Army Reserve MP, and he got shipped over there too. Be mindful of him too, since he could end up staying in any occupation/peacekeeping force in addition to the war itself.

Uhm, Yellow Ribbons are for people serving overseas in theaters of war.
Not to belittle your friend's service in any way, mind you.
