Going through my emails this morning, I came across one from Russ Vaughn. I didn&#8217;t think he even knew who we were. If you don&#8217;t recognize the name, Russ wrote &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.blackfive.net\/main\/2008\/12\/the-sheepdogs-b.html\">The Sheepdogs<\/a>&#8220;. He used to write at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oldwardogs.us\/\">Old War Dogs<\/a>, the project created by the late Bill Faith (who credited Russ with the idea for OWD) and currently writes at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.americanthinker.com\/russ_vaughn\/\">The American Thinker<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, Russ asked if we had room here at TAH for him. Lemme see, we have 18 people who can post here, one is bouncing around currently in some &#8216;Stan, somewhere, two are on Capitol Hill and the rest have lives, apparently, so lemme see if I can squeeze you in here, somewhere, Russ. <\/p>\n<p>Anyway, even if I didn&#8217;t have room, one of them would be getting their walking papers so we could get our clutches on a bit of Russ&#8217; time. So join me, if you will, in welcoming an icon of the Vietnam generation of blog writers, Russ Vaughn to the already stellar staff at TAH.<\/p>\n<p>By the way, Russ earned his Combat Infantry Badge in the 2d Bn, 327th Parachute Infantry Regiment of the 101st Airborne Division, when they were still paratroopers in Vietnam 1965-1966.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I think I peed myself a little.
