"The beauty is in the walking; we are betrayed by destinations." -Gwyn Thomas

I am a 3-tour veteran of Vietnam and frown on body piercing (anywhere).

As I was approaching Vietnam by air in our squadron, I looked down at the jungle and although I couldn't see anything going on, I knew there was danger there.

I tried to pray, but my mind was so taken up with what was going on, I couldn't. The only prayer that I could come up with was,

"Lord, I know you made me with the exact number of holes that you wanted me to have. I ask you to let me leave Vietnam with the same exact number!"

While my son was on board the Navy carrier USS GEORGE WASHINGTON, the air wing was busy with training missions.

After talking to a pilot, one air-traffic controller accidentally left his microphone on and remarked to a nearby buddy, "That guy sounded just like Elmer Fudd."

The airwaves got strangely quiet as everyone listened, realizing that the pilot had also heard the comment. After about ten seconds, the pilot broke the silence by announcing,

"Be vewy, vewy quiet. We are hunting submawenes."

"We must find a way to unite what Jesus never divided - the sacred and the secular, spirit and matter, the divine and the common." -Leonard Sweet
