for those who dont know, dave grenegigergigergiger (also known as "dave g" in this newsgroup, and "rngerdv" on 7 slot) is a black hawk pilot in the army. he will be leaving in 2 days headed for a tour in iraq, and id like to throw him a proper farewell cyber-party as he leaves his family and loved ones to head into harms way to protect the freedoms and values that most of us take for granted each day.



on monday, sept. 1 '03 at 10pm EST we will be meeting in chat to talk with dave before he heads out. the chat channel is dual access, you can reach it (if you have microsoft virtual java machine in your operating system) on the web at

God speed, good luck, good hunting.. Hope you and the rest of the worlds military personnel who are over there trying to enforce a sense of peace and bring stability to a country that knows no such thing can all come home soon.

Snow...

p.s. ... Watch out for those Canadians ;-),, It's almost hockey season and they will be cranky that they are going to miss it..

Snow..."salutes all military service men and women with a nice cold Molson's.. which they all help protect.

A hearetfelt thanks - be safe and come home soon.

God Bless America.

Off the subject...... Nathan, did you ever move to Great Falls or find a nicer location along the way. Pat

Many thanks to all the kind replys. The 4th combat deployment in 14 years and 2 of them being in the last 24 months. So as you can see, I am sorta of getting used to them!

I will also pass your well wishes and support to my fellow soldiers as they do appreciate the support for sure.

Fine Americans one and all...Even better that you own Jeeps right!

I will try and keep up when possible via the google newsreader and send some photos to Nathan for updates.

Stay safe out there and keep the greasy side down. Dave
