Message Boards Open
This site gets e-mails every day from people looking for servicemen and women, questions about the use and tactics of our military, and always debates about the political ramifications of the Gulf War. Since I don't have time to answer everyone, I've opened a new section where users can chat with each other directly. You can find this new site here:

NOTE: These listings come from the Pentagon. If your unit is not listed, I'm sorry. I'll add it if you send me a quick e-mail. If you want to whine, moan and cry about it (and I get tons of these types of messages), please e-mail the guy in charge of the Pentagon's listings: president@whitehouse.gov
