Joe Brown did the copying from my 8mm movies. Great Job Joe.
I was only able to get 6 min loaded up but I guess this will have to do for now.
Enjoy everyone.

Vietnam War-F Troop 8th Cavalry Blue Ghost 1970

From Cary Seibel, Feb 9, 2011

     Hi, Yesterday My Dad was playing around online land came across your video, "Vietnam F Troop 
8th Cavalry Blue Ghost 1970" To his utter amazement, there he was in your video. His name is 
Bob (Robert) Brokenshire. He was the guy walking toward the camera with a towel on his waist. 
I don't hear much from him about Vietnam, so when he called and told me to check out the video,
I was pretty surprised.Thank you so much for posting it. My brothers and sisters think it is pretty 
amazing to see it. Hope you are well and again thanks for sharing. Have a wonderful day. Cary Seibel.

Yup, Brian has it correct.  Atlanta is major air hub and flights are cheaper.  I have a bunch of Blueghost Shirts and stuff to show your pride in you service with the troop.

We aren't getting any younger and it's time to reconnect and celebrate.  Hope to see all in "Hotlanta" next month.
