This would be a story how three generations of the Gundersons experienced military life through the '60's, '80's and now.

Cowboy:

Nice concept! Lot's of family's like that, actually. In HONOR!

Terwiliger:

Fantastic idea.

I suggest adding one more Gunderson who enlisted in the early 1930s & saved his copy of training manual TM 2000-25 from FDR's 1933 biblioclasm.

It was passed down from generation to generation to help teach each new generation of Gundersons what it really meant to be an American.

Neat idea, tho I confess I had to look up "Tango Sierra" on urban dictionary.
I browsed TM 2000-25 online.
It includes,

" The philosophy of government, as set up under our Constitution, finds its keynote in individualism as opposed to that misguided philosophy of government, collectivism, which makes the State paramount in its demands over the inalienable rights of its individual citizens. Incomprehensible as it may seem, the political problems of America and of the world at large are embodied in this question of individualism as opposed to collectivism as the philosophy of government for the future development and welfare of nations."

Beautiful. That was written when Coolidge was POTUS. We've come a long way.

TERRY_JIM:

Thanks for posting the link. I'm glad that someone took it upon themselves to look it up. I'm even happier that you see value in it.

EVERYBODY ELSE:

If you haven't already, PLEASE read it--& pass it on. If you don't like the plain text format, there are other copies of it on the web.
