No Bigsaint. I was in Ft Monmouth. Bldg 2700, AKA "The Hex".
My little brother almost got a job at Pica. (They like to see a security clearence has been obtained before hire) but it didnt work out. He's at Pax. river now, and is happy there.
It's too bad. He is a distinguished rifleman, and ex infantry, would have been a real assett at Pica. #ad

[Steve St.Laurent]

No military service here - almost signed up but they wouldn't let me fly (didn't have 20/20). I have many family members that served including my father, father-in-law, many uncles, and my grandfather (WWII). I'd like to thank EVERYONE on this thread for your service to our country and my family. I'd also like to thank your families for their sacrifice - there were many days that you were off at war, or simply serving that they did not have the benefit of your companionship. Without you we would not enjoy the freedoms we have (although they are slowly being eroded). Veterans day is a holiday at my house - we don't work and we go out and either volunteer at a VA hospital, attend a service, or a parade, etc. I also go out and shoot my grandfathers Luger that he brought back from the war to honor and remember him - I miss him dearly. I decided to start this many years ago so that my eventual children (my first was born January 29th) would understand what you all have given up for us.

Thanks again,
Steve St. Laurent
