we laid my FIL hero to rest today after a 9 month wait... fewer and fewer of his kind these days

Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).
Warrior and Hero finally makes it home

Seconded.
Thank you for sharing.
didnt share much as most didnt from their time in NAM it seems.
He was in the bush and saw and did a lot of dirty shit.
He was a small man which i believe favored a man in the junglr He mentioned some half ass story about them thinking all GIs were over 6 foot tall. A few booby traps he encountered early were geared towards tall men and he saw this with a guy directly in front of him for the most part losing a head, He carried it out of the jungle.
Great and humble gentleman and great American. Got to spend time in Old Town Sunday with Army lifers as he was and they are so disappointed in this country. Which includes their grand kids... both said

God bless you. I agree - we need a new kind of button that is reserved only for moments like this!
