Guys who did that Korean War. Couldn't have been pretty. We both know that because we know what the Korean terrain looks like and how cold it gets there.

Excellent. I'll be in touch.

I've got a so-called "Pennsylvania Dutch" last name. I've never been there. I'll visit someday. Are you going to The Big Chile in Santa Fe?
