"Barbara and I mourn the loss of a true American patriot and one of the great military leaders of his generation. A distinguished member of that 'Long Gray Line' hailing from West Point, Gen. Norm Schwarzkopf, to me, epitomized the 'duty, service, country' creed that has defended our freedom and seen this great nation through our most trying international crises. More than that, he was a good and decent man — and a dear friend. Barbara and I send our condolences to his wife, Brenda, and his wonderful family." — former President George H.W. Bush.

being a bit of a traditionalist I thought it best to start at the beginning. Here are a few of my WWI French tanks, a St Chamond and a pair of Renault FT 17s. These are 15mm Miniature Figures Limited that I've had for years.
