Gulf War XX was an absolute blast this year.
Friday night I am pleased to say that we had about 20+ people of both dark blue and light blue feathers show up to the Happy Hour.
We all made some new acquaintances and had a great time getting to know one another. I look forward to arranging another gathering next year at Gulf War and hope this will grow over time as more people know ...
