| Personnel: United States Military, mostly Army, some Air Force. Most formidable military on the planet.
Location: Kandahar Airbase, Afghanistan Dining Facility.
Date: Fall 2004
Situation: Conveyor belt style toaster available to make your own toast. Put bread on moving screen over heating elements it travels through machine and is dumped upside down down a little chute back to you.
Point of story: Sign taped to the wall above the toaster reads - Do Not Put Cheese in the Toaster!
For some reason I laugh out loud when I remember this.
Thanks for the chance! You're so generous. |

| Awesome karma both my uncles served in the Air Force. FIL was a Pearl Harbor survivor. He was on the USS Neosho that was a tanker which was fully loaded with fuel. They arrived into port the night before. The captain received the Navy Cross for moving the ship out of harbor during the attack. The Neosho was later sunk in the battle of the corral sea. Only a few survivors he was one of them. They took turns in the life boat while others hung on the side. The ship was partially above surface and they were able to to swim into a hole that allowed them to get supplies. The Australian Navy rescued them. 4 days after being hit.

Keeping the economy moving since 1964
| Thank you for this generous Karma. Below is Robert Black Baumer, a relative I never knew (was my father's cousin). 51 missions over Europe in WWII. Flew in B-29s in Korea, shot down 6-10-52 over what is now N. Korea. Declared MIA, presumed dead, 1954. And my father, who passed away 8 years ago. I think this photo is from around 1941, his Navy training days at Cornell University. WWII interrupted college for him, and he served on LSTs in the Pacific Theater. Perhaps the greatest influence in my life, I think about him every day.
