Philaberto and Sandy.
Wonderful friends.
Philaberto served 3 tours in Vietnam.
One as an infantry platoon leader.
He was seriously wounded during Tet. Spent 2 years recovering, then learned to fly choppers, and served two more tours as a Huey pilot.
He was also the Chief of Staff for the National Guard Bureau.
He and Sandy have been married for almost 55 yrs.

Send help......and a storage unit. He kept the m'fer a secret. Maybe I should come home with a pair of $1000 shoes.
Congratulation to @SGKusmertz, @bek1, and @wilbner. Your questions were chosen for tonight’s Ask Joe and the Panelists.
@SGKusmertz If you could have one song play when you enter a room, what would it be?
@bek1 Do you usually feel excited or stressed out about going back to school after summer break?
@wilbner What was the best prank you’ve ever pulled?
“Blast”
From the past.
We are ‘holed up’ in a restaurant named ‘Mamacitas’.
The wind is so bad, that it slowed my scoot down from 65 to 50, even with me rolling all the way back on the throttle.
We burnt a 1/2 tank of fuel going a little over 70 miles. I usually get at least 90 miles out of a half of a tank.
While sitting here, @The_CINC ‘s BFF texted me this photo from one of her ‘memories’ that came up.
She’d just lost all of her hair.
She’d not ridden a motorcycle in about 10 years since My Buddy Bob, tried to kill himself on his in NC. She wanted to go for a ride, so I took her on one of my favorite rides around FT AP Hill, in VA. Her son Jason joined us.
We took this picture when we returned.
I’m about 280 Lbs.
