Good morning, Thomas and also Matt and Bob McFarlane. I have learned m
greatest lesson to date with respect to CF. Hurry up and wait.
Recruiting has postponed my Officer Board pending getting the PSO able to
attend. Thomas this is the Personnel Selection Officer. Oh well!
In the meantime I have been very interested in the response to Mr. Burgess
from all of the newslist. Seems he underestimated the pride and camaraderie
of this group and its relentless pursuit of truth. Looks like the truth has
finally come out about him.
I have also seen this phenom in Canadian Vietnam Vets who have such a strong
bond with each other which transcends the border. You dare not be a
pretender/wannabee because you will be found out for sure.
To an earlier email in reference to how many Cdns are names on the wall in
Washington. To date 107 are Canadians and this is presumed to be much
higher when you consider how many First Nations from Canadian Soil there
were killed in Vietnam. Lots of Cdn Vets would like to have these numbers
clarified.
But still hanging in, and ready. Thanks for your continued interest.
Steve

Dear Sarge
I think a wee dram or two of the infamous punch may bring our non-gunner friends
up to our standards. Of course, they would only be allowed to partake of this

I guess, for the non-alcoholic version, have a glass of iced tea with orange
juice...
Artillery Punch
1 qt strong black tea
1 qt rye
1 bottle red wine
1 pt Jamaican rum
1/2 pint brandy
1 jigger Benedictine
1 pt orange juice
1/2 pt lemon juice
Combine in a large punch bowl, with a block of ice. If found too dry, sugar
syrup may be added. Garnish with twists of lemon peel

It invloves a garbage canpreferably new but not always, a couple of boots
after a forced march, and many bottles of liquor. Of course you can add
canned fruit for texture.

OK. Here‘s my personal recipe for Artillery Punch.
You start with a solid non alcoholic base. Mostly for color and
texture. Hawaiian Punch or other red tropical fruit punch,
cranberry/raspberry juice, and finally raspberry ginger ale. Mix.
There‘s a danger the base will be flat so feel free to use the raspberry
ginger ale to bring a strong bubbly flavor to it.
Now add a quart of Vodka, three bottles of champaign or other
sparkling white wine, and last but not least a quart of grain alcohol,
known here in the States as "Everclear". BTW: any clear liquor can be
used in place of the vodka, such as Puerto Rican Rum or Gin.
Because of the inclusion of the last ingredient, "Everclear", it is
advisable Noting well that there are several members of the Law
Enforcement community, on this list that a supply of the nonalcoholic
base be left for the designated drivers, pregnant women, and recovering
alcoholics, so they too may partake in the toasts!
There is a tradition in the US Field Artillery that any punch, using
cognac be called a "French 75". This alludes to the fact, that the main
gun of the US Army in WW I, was the classic M1897 French 75mm. Feel free
to substitute the champaign with cognac.
I‘ve had to do a lot of experimentation to come up with this.

Take Care, Tom Bisping

See Don, that is why I failed the PC class. I sometimes forget that you grew

After Battle School in Wainwright, I do have respect for the Combat Arms
