What's In A Name?

Your name looks interesting too. What's your "story?"

Librevore

Well, I my youth, I was very Religious...So much so, that I was said to be in the "shadow of the cross." (Why they never said Light of the cross, I don't know)

Religion has always been a big part of my life, so I take what I was called and shorten it to Shadowcross.

Cheers!

My name comes from airborne and medic. I shortened the airborne when I made a username at another website a while back so I just kept it. I was in the 82nd Airborne Division for 3 years (spent half the time in Iraq and Afghanistan and then went to Iraq again with 3d ACR last year). I am also a medic in the Army.

Barry,

As a foreigner (Canadian, so not that far...) living here I appreciate everything you guys do. I have a neighbor whose kids think he cooks for all of the soldiers in Iraq. He is actually stationed at a checkpoint.

I very often feel guilty enjoying a very life here when so many work so hard to make that possible.

Aaaaw!

That's both a sad story and a sweet story, all at the same time.

I wish we could bring them all home.

Of course, at some point, the son is going to be really confused when he finds out his dad can't cook.

Thanks for sharing that story Dale,

I am Lisa and I and my brothers are into Rome--Caesar, Cicero, on and on. Thus the name. I also have studied Latin so that's an added interest in Rome. On top of that I started ancient Greek and would like to get back to that some day.:o

Barry I guess the Army is short for Rotary Wing pilots. Im sure you already knew that. I just talked to my friend who told me that yesterday. He is finishing up flight school for the Kiowa Warrior.

Good luck on your Excelsior degree. I too am going to apply for OTS when I get my degree hopefully this summer. Cool
