S2 E11 ”Memorial Day- The Bellamy Brothers & Canada O’ Canada”

The 2 Old Farts are back after a 2 week hiatus. Last week was my anniversary so we were on vacation.  Which fed into Memorial Day.  Memorial Day can be kind of a sad time remembering those whom we have lost.  Personally, I lost 2 friends:  Major Ed Murphy and CW2 Scott Coulter.  I worked for Major Murphy while we were stationed in Italy.  When I left Italy, he stayed behind and his unit deployed to Afghanistan.  I returned to the US where my unit deployed to Iraq.  Major Murphy died in a helicopter crash in 2005.

I knew CW2 Scott Coulter from my time at Fort Hood.  I left Fort Hood to go to Italy.  CW2 Coulter deployed from Fort Hood to Iraq in OIF 1.  He was killed by a roadside IED in the fall of 2003.  He died where I would be stationed just 14 months later.

As you will hear, my father, mother and wife and I went to see the Bellamy Brothers last night at The Roundup.  It was a great time.  My mom enjoys her bourbons! Oh and she loved my candle that I got her for Mother's Day.

 

Oh - and Canada. We've been having quite a few downloads from Canada.  So far this month - we've only had 1 download it came from Canada so congratulations!  We are so happy to have you listening to us.

 

Thank you!
