Quick story: The so-called "Bagram Boardwalk" was basically a joke. They had every convenience and restaurant one could imagine in a war zone. Surreal. I remember walking thru there, dirty and stinking from a mission. I would literally laugh aloud at the splendor on tap, as well as the "mean mugs" from clean clothes/pressed uniform types who were pissed I had invaded their sacral, dignified space. (and, I assure you, I was no warrior, super hero). But I did NOT laugh at the Tillman Center (I think that's what it was called) that indeed was a sacred place. It held the relics of true sacrifice. Sorry for long reply...but we could really use more PTs, reminders of his character, depth of fidelity, and true, ultimate sacrifice for his country. Again, thanks for posting. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
