[QUOTE="TerryMiller, post: 2107066, member: 7900"] [FONT=Georgia][SIZE=3]Back in the day, prior to shipping overseas in 1967, we were at a small base in Virginia and had to wait for visas to arrive, so we were "itinerant" soldiers for a while because the First Sergeant didn't want to have to mess with finding stuff for us to do. So, we got to do a lot of sight-seeing for about 6 weeks. I spent a LOT of time in D.C. and as a PFC, all I could afford were the MacDonald's 19-cent hamburgers for meals. To this day, it pains me to walk into a MacDonald's. A few years ago, my youngest son was working in Hernsdon (sp), VA and the wife went out for a week so they could sight-see as she had never been in that area before. One evening, they called me from DC saying that they had finished sightseeing for the day and were eating at a sidewalk cafe. They described the filet mignon that they were eating. At the time, back here in Oklahoma, I had a Banquet Chicken Pot Pie in front of me. I'm still trying to find a way to get even.[/SIZE][/FONT] [/QUOTE]
