This page is a new addition as of early Winter 2008. It is intended to provide a place for O Deuce troopers to tell their stories to their brothers and the rest of the world

If you have a story to wish to tell, please send to . Do not let concern about your writing abilities stop you. We will work with you to get it in good form. It is your story that is important, not the writing. If you don't like to write, record your story (tape recorder or computer) and send us the recording!
