Smoking for a brother tonight and his good deeds

[Shawn hines]

I thought I would post something to for you guys that are sending cigars to scott in support of the troops. Some of you may not know that Mike (Mleska) and I are in the US Coastguard and stationed overseas with our units.

Mike and I had been doing reviews here and there on cigars that we were smoking that night. Mosty stupid rambling of the to of us...What ever

Anyway, Mike "had to go on a trip" for a while although I can't say where he is right now or what he is doing....

I thought I would share a link from CNN

Here is to you guys, hope you are firing up those cigars tonight (http://edition.cnn.com/2012/01/10/world/meast/iran-us-rescue/index.html?iref=allsearch)

God's blessings to all our CG people - they too, as far as I am concerned, are considered with our other military personnel. They risk their lives daily to make our lives comfortable.

Peace of the Lord be with you.

Thank you, we are part of the military. We get on bases, same amount of leave, same pay, and go to the same wars. We just look better doing it...:noon

They're the Military, as Shawn said. Common misconception.

That's funny Shawn, from my fiancées station their GM1 is deploying to Bahrain. Small world I guess.
