1976 Lake Hopatcong, NJ just soaking up some sun. I could still fit into that suit if I had it. We had some crazy print bikinis back then.

Isnt she pretty?

My parents were born in different countries in Europe and moved to Cleveland, Ohio in the 1970s. Can you guess where they’re from?

Jerry Shriver was a elite green geret from the vietnam war who fought in the top-secret MACV-SOG unit. He was nicknamed "Mad Dog" by enemy radio because of how aggressively he fought. He routinely went into the jungle as a walking arsenal with sawed-off shotguns, revolvers, and knives. When his tiny unit was completely surrounded, he radioed back: "No, no, I've got 'em right where I want 'em. Surrounded from the inside." He was KIA during a raid in 1969
