    Quote from Colorado Bob

    I noticed that we missed noticing the recent passing of a true American hero - Command Sergeant Major Basil Plumley passed away on October 10, 2012. He enlisted in the U.S. Army in 1942, and served during WWII, Korea and Viet Nam. He was portrayed by Sam Elliott in the Mel Gibson film, "We Were Soldiers," which told the story of the Battle La Drang in 1965. I did notice that Carl has honored him by using Sgt. Maj. Plumley's photo as his avatar. Thank you Carl. CSM Plumley - we could use more like him to help keep the world a safer place.


    RIP Command Sergeant Major Basil Plumley .



    This post was made in the 'General RIP' Thread,
    but moved it here to this now dedicated thread

    Quote from The Tennesseean

    Maybe, since we have "Pals of the Saddle," we could have a thread called "Barracks Buddies," or "Just Plain Joes," where we could share their stories and experiences, along with our admiration and honor for them.


    Please forgive me if I'm out of line with this post, but it's so very dear to my heart.


    Let me know, guys, if this is a possibility.


    Please feel free to start a thread, as you suggested, "Barracks Buddies,"
    or "Just Plain Joes," It sounds a great idea..

    Sounds great to me Keith--please title it how you feel best. I sometimes but rarely--get word on WWII Russian Vets and such.


    OK Carl, as you see I have re-tiotled the thread.
    Should you wish another title please let me know.


    Our members can feel free to post about our veterans,
    whichever country they have served

    Quote from The Ringo Kid

    Thank you Keith ;-)) I dont know how to word the rest of the reply I had in mind--as it sounded bad no matter how I worded it. I.e. "I cant be glad to keep posting because it means more passsing away--but more than glad to have a thread. See what I mean?


    Taking into consideration Arthur's point,
    why don't we have a thread called something like


    RIP: War Veterans


    Then that would encompass the passing of military men
    from all our members countries.


    Carl, now that you have started this thread,
    would you like to now, keep this one
    and I can re-title it, perhaps as mentioned above?

    I feel sure this thread can be used to post any heroes,
    from across the globe.
    Or if Carl wants to start a general military thread of remembrance,
    then please go ahead.
    Not long back I made one for Members, Relatives and Friends.
