Default Headed to Afgahnistan

Just wanted to tell all my old C3 buddies bye for a while. I am headed to Bagram AB and won't be back for a year or so...so keep me in your thoughts.

Your efforts on behalf of western democracies is appreciated more than you can realize.

Say hello to some of our Canadian buddies over there.

Thank you.

I was in the first one that had the feature. Look at my Avitar...it was my '70 with its black stripe that was in the magazine. I think the cover had a NYC Fireman with his Red C3.
