There is soil from every major battle field from the revolutionary war up to present day. I was never in the service but I felt honored to visit a place like this. He is now stationed at Ft Bliss
El Paso Texas and is training to be on a Stryker. He called this afternoon and as we speak he's out on the range training on a MK19 with night vision on. I told him too bad they don't let 50 plus year old fat men join. I'm jealous!! HAHAHA
