I received three books from MrSlinkerton:

COVERT OPS - The CIA's Secret War in Laos by James E. Parker Jr COMRADES by Stephen E. Ambrose THEIR WAR German Combat Photographs From The Archives of SIGNAL

And a heartfelt letter that these had been passed on from a friend that had passed away and hoped that I would enjoy them.

The problem is, these won't get the attention they deserve from me. I don't like war books at all, and simply won't read them. I appreciate the thought but I feel these would have been a better gift for someone else. My father in particular would love them, but I am not him. I may browse the SIGNAL book, just for the interesting 'enemies perspective' but that is all.

It's the thought that counts Slinky, thanks anyway.
