Bruce was a dear friend and we attended the same church. When I returned from Thailand after 15 mounths. My mother wanted me to wear my unaform to church. She would'nt have it any other way, so I put all the ribons and such on my 1549's and went with Mama to church. Bruce met me at the door. He says, are you crazy! You better take those stripes off somebody's going to see and you'll be in real trouble. He was serious! I had to show him a copy of my orders before he would believe that I was a staff sgt. He was a airman first class. We had a big HaHa over it. I miss you bruce!
