Attention: US Marines (and French), intel needed

I washed all the Danang mud off I could, 'cause I never wanted to see it again. However, now . . .

I never went to Nam (too young), but has anyone else noticed how all military posts/bases seem to have the same red clay. It's like they ship it in special.

Until recently I had some old running shoes that had started out white, but the good ol' Georgia red clay at Benning took care of those

Just remembered that somewhere I also have a small branch from a tree that has been growing in the courtyard of the Alamo (between the chapel & the long barracks) since before the battle. It had a seed I was going to plant from it, but unfortunately the seed got crushed in travel somehow
(I had an ancestor that fell in the battle there with Crockett & the boys.)
