    Amen to that! In the clip, I saw at least two different 51 Chevys (My dad and I shared a 51 for a while... it's one of my favorites!).

    Since travel is opening up, maybe we can go and have a SAW commemorative match in San Juan Heights. Anyone want to go???

      How long before O' dummie tries to either give Guantonimo <sp> back or make it a state? I expect him to try to give the base back to cuba.

        O'Dummie is anything but. Truth be known, he has performed brilliantly if you recognize his goals to be the dissolution of the United States of America as most of us knew it!

          I have seen some reasonably recent photos showing Spanish warship wrecks. I think there is one cruiser hulk with a turret partway out of the water.

            If he turns the Gitmo detention over the Cubans he will be giving it to professionals who really know how to run prisons.

              Obama can't. It would take an act of Congress.

                That would be neat to see. I ve seen the aft end of the Prinz Eugen above the water at Kwajalein atoll. Just don t get too close...
                The NC state capitol grounds and the courthouse across the street from Pres Polk s house in Columbia TN have deck guns from the SpanAm war on display (iirc they are captured Spanish war trophies) and the Nauticus museum in Norfolk VA has a Spanish torpedo? on display from the naval battle at Santiago bay. Steubenville OH iirc? has a nice war memorial as well, and of course, Arlington has an excellent memorial which has some captured gun cannons.

                    I am ready to go. Trying to be as respectful as this Jarhead can be. My Grandfather was there many times as a Shriner in the 40's. I am sure that was no disrespect to my Grandmother. I will never tell those stories, But I would go in a heart beat. I graduated from Plantation High and grew up in South Fl. It has always been a dream of mine.

                    Always have a place in South Fl
