I know I am one of the new guys here, And my pal wasn't a member of any gun club or anything like that. But he was in the Army with me and our main battle those days was trying stay out of Tops office. Most of the time it didn't work and we were both in there more than him it seemed like.
This is kinda long but I think he is worth it to me any way. He was levied to Germany and his wife at the time sends him divorce papers. He gets out on a hard ship discharge to care for his kids and she has found a new man and doesn't want them in her way.
This all took place in 1986, he has gone down hill ever since. He has been homeless and without food or money and was able to get in the dorm at the VA. Put in for his ss disablity, had to get a lawyer imgine that. Well he got it and got his back pay this man paid every penny back to all the loaned him money.
He was able to get him a car and a nice one too one he always wanted. Life was good for him, this pasted Saturday they found him passed out. So they took him to the infiramry and then to the hospital. I guess he got choked on a candy wrapper when he went into one of his coughing spells.
Of all things a candy wrapper, they did all the test and the only thing that is keeping him alive is the machines. At his request sometime in the next few days they will take him off the machines.
Its pretty hard to see someone you did morning PT with and had a beer or two with laying there with all those tubes coming out of him.
He was a Good NCO, he took care of his troops, always of good cheer.
His name was Mike, his real dad ran off and left him his step dad wanted until he was 18 before he adopted him so he could make his owm choice as to which last name he wanted. He was proud of his step dad and he was a darn fine troop.
Ok I am done now, guess I just needed to get it off my chest so to speak.
