Let's have some great picture memorabilia!

I'm really going out on a limb here with this one. There were some really great photos of RP Members in their very first uniform picture. Thanks for sharing everyone who participated - that is still going by the way!

Picture of my Dad (PFC Don Burroughs, Korean War Veteran)

Now let's get some pictures of the last days in uniform posted!

After I boarded the C-130 in Baghdad, I handed the camera to another passenger and asked if he could please take this picture. When we arrived in Ali Asalem, Kuwait, the driver took me to the embassy quarters, I took a shower, changed into civilian clothes, and was driven to the Kuwait City International airport. After several stops along the way, I turned in all my military garb for the last time at Fort Bliss, Texas. One month later, with Leave, I officially retired at MacDill AFB.
