Lost purpleheart

[gear junkie]

In Spain again,(been there 3 times:D:D) and we had these big planks of wood we call dunnage for going under bulldozer or supporting a load so a forklift can get underneath it. Scrap wood basically. A bulldozer was being loaded and snapped one board(3x12x10') in half. Bright purple.:eek: Turned out that "scrap" wood was actually purple heart and we were driving over it with bulldozers. Turned out we had 4000 sq ft. Makes you want to cry.

I think I would find some way to ship a care package home. Purple heart as scrap wood does make me cry

Excuse my ignorants, but what is purple heart. Is it a special type of wood.

It's a beautiful wood to use as an accent because the color is to powerful to use solo. Bob, they ended up using the wood to build a bar for the chief's mess on Camp Mitchell. I know you got some good stories. Can't wait to hear some.

I can neither confirm nor deny my presence there or any other location on the globe. I can only say my orders were to Little Creek and beyond that I'd have to kill you, and I don't want to have to do that. :eek:

Bob, I was wondering why you were quiet. I understand.
