I've had one (that I know of), who fought in the American Revolution, six or more who fought in the Civil War, one bomber (B-25 Mitchell) and a decorated sergeant, and one translator in WWII, a sniper in Vietnam, and an Airforce crewman in the 1980s. Theres more, but these are the ones I can remember.

I was born on the "Fort Polk Army Base", my father was stationed there.

Left Louisiana when I was three, mom remarried, stepfather was 10th Mountain Infantry,
Ski Patrol, all my cousins except one was in the service, my uncle Alfred retired a Master Sargent
from the Army.

I was too young for Vietnam and too old for the Gulf War.

But at least my parents put me through Military School.

Mt. Lowe Military Academy in Altadena CA.
 

Rusty,

You mentioned buying shares of Coca Cola. Here's the latest earnings information. You can probably open an online account with Charles Schwab or another discount broker. Since their commissions are very cheap to nil since there's a price war going on you can buy a few shares at a time to get the ball rolling.

Due to your age you may have to get your folks to sign off on it.

Alright heres one that fell out of a tree up at our sawmill.
 

Msbeepbeep,

Thanks for the vote of confidence.

Just signed up for masterclass to up my game cooking wise. Gordon Ramsay, Thomas Keller, Wolfgang Puck, Alice Waters and a few others should give me a few tricks up my sleeve going forward.

Bart,

Hopefully the iguana recovers from the cold weather. Maybe set up a nesting site for the little tyke.
 

I once had several pet iguanas, most of the time that had their run on the house. Because they need direct sunlight to process A-D vitamins. While at work I put them in an outdoor cage, during the winter on days that are at least 70 degrees.
I had gotten home, when the doorbell rang, ot was two ladies with AWAKE and WATCHTOWER in their hands, when said, "Look at that big lizard".
It was Moe, my male iguana, who somehow got out of the cage, who ran directly up my oak treeIt appeared that someone had released the slide bolt on the cage. My female was still on a limb in the cage.
I tried hosing Moe down, but he just climbed higher into the tree.
Two days later, it was a hard freeze and stayed cold for several days, and he fell from tree. He was frozen solid, and I could hold him by his tale like an iguanasicle.
I called my vet, who told me to fill the tub with warm water and put Moe in to bring him out of hibernation. A few hours later, he was back to his green normal self.

I'm going to have to brush up on my terms and definitions, but I think Coca Cola is a good way to go. Amazon too, maybe some other company as well..
