55 Years ago today I left on the Gray Hound bus parked at Pete's to head to Ft. Bennining for basic training. Rose Clinard was there to see me off and she promised not to call me Bubba but she did. I din't mind. Back then we had the draft so when you got the "Greetings Letter" from the DOA you went. Always a proud American and proud to serve. Go Army!
