remember when...1976

By Debra SaundersSan Francisco Chronicle

Voters in Colorado, Iowa and Virginia think Hillary Clinton is not honest or trustworthy. According to the latest Quin-

nipiac poll, a mere 34 percent of Colo-rado voters think she can be trusted; 62 percent do not. In Iowa, those numbers are 33 percent to 59; in Virginia, Clin-ton is underwater on trust, too, 39 per-cent to 55 percent.

Clinton’s conduct is catching up with her. In March, Clinton told report-ers that as secretary of state, she had “opted for convenience” to use private email because she “thought it would be easier to carry just one device” for her work and for her personal emails. Oh, and she used a private — not a govern-ment — server, and the private server already has been scrubbed. She deleted some 30,000 emails — because they were personal — before sending an-other 30,000 to Foggy Bottom. Voters will have to take her word that half the emails were personal and did not risk national security. An inspector general has asked the Department of Justice to investigate. It seems a sampling of 40 emails Clinton sent as secretary of state found that four contained classi-fied information that should have been labeled “secret.” The only question is: What took so long?

In 1996, The New York Times’ Wil-liam Safire branded Clinton a “con-genital liar” in a column that cited the first lady’s amazing acumen in the com-modities market, her role in firing staff in the White House travel office and the mysterious disappearance and appear-ance of documents from her former law firm. The Clintons have a way of play-

ing the clock until the public loses in-terest in an overcomplicated story.

The Clinton email/private server sto-ry is too technical, as well, but it directs attention to other Clinton vices:

1) Blind ambition. Clinton was her party’s front-runner in 2008, but then Democrats bolted to a first-term sena-tor from Illinois. Yes, they liked Barack Obama, but also, they did not trust Clinton, who had voted for the Iraq War before she turned against it.

2) Greed. Bill and Hillary Clinton raked in $25 million in speaking fees over 16 months. Clinton maintains she wants to fight for income inequality, even as she charged UCLA $300,000 for one speech last year — and that fee, paid by a private fund, was her special “university rate.”

3) Mendacity. Given Clinton’s history in the White House, it is impossible to believe she thought she should use a private server for sensitive national se-curity correspondence, which is part of the public record. If she wanted to keep her personal emails private, Clinton knows she should have kept a separate private account. It shows how little re-spect Clinton has for the public that she would contend that she simply did not want to carry two phones.

In July, Clinton told CNN’s Brianna Keilar: “Everything I did was permit-ted. There was no law. There was no regulation. There was nothing that did not give me the full authority to de-cide how I was going to communicate.” Washington Post fact checker Glenn Kessler gave that statement three Pi-nocchios for “significant factual error and/or obvious contradictions.”

Clinton treated a top Cabinet post as a personal fiefdom. How do you think she would treat the White House?

100 BREWS. COME THIRSTY.

MAJ. BAMBI:Donnie Dunagan is a hard-

nosed Marine, a highly deco-rated veteran of the Vietnam War who served for a quarter-

century. First drafted in the ’50s and subsequently promoted 13 times in 21 years — a Corps record at the time, he recalls — Dunagan found the Marines a perfect fit. That is, so long as he could keep a secret.

A dark reminder of the past Dunagan left behind still lurked unspoken: He was Bambi.

As a kid, Dunagan did a brief stint as a child actor, and he was tapped by Walt Disney to be the voice of the lead in the 1942 “Bambi,” the now-classic animated film about a young deer learning about life in the forest.

And not one of his fellow Marines knew.

“No chance!” Dunagan, now 80, tells his wife, Dana, on a recent visit with StoryCorps in San Angelo, Texas. “I nev-er said a word to anybody about Bambi, even to you. When we first met I never said a word about it. Most of the image in people’s minds of Bambi was a little frail deer, not doing very well, sliding around on the ice on his belly.”

Now, imagine the man who was once Bambi as a commander in a Ma-rine Corps boot camp, responsible for hundreds of recruits. Dunagan didn’t want his recruits drawing any connec-

tions, mocking him or calling him “Maj. Bambi.”

So, he kept his mouth shut.Of course, it got out eventually. De-

cades later, a Marine whom Dunagan had worked for several times, twice in

combat, called him into his office in the early morning about a month before the two of them retired.

“I go in his office and he says, ‘Duna-gan! I want you to audit the auditors,’” Dunagan recalls. Swamped with other

duties, Dunagan respectfully asked him: “General, when do you think I’m going to have time to do that?”

And, finally, the nightmare he’d har-

NAVAL BASE GUANTANAMO BAY, CUBA — This isolated U.S. Navy base has many facilities and services to make life comfortable for the service members and their families stationed here.

That includes a radio and TV broad-cast facility holding more than 22,000 reel-to-reel and vinyl records, valued at as much as $2 million.

But it’s not just any old music col-lection. This one, which includes a reel-to-reel of the Beatles anthology album and a recording of the “Good Morning, Vietnam” soundtrack, is rumored to house recordings that were never for-mally released.

“I believe this is one of the largest, if not the largest, collection in the Armed Services Network,” said Kelly Wirfel, base spokeswoman.

Alphabetized on wooden shelves, the records sit in square cutouts with their album track lists catalogued on index cards in nearby filing cabinets. Broken souvenirs, Radio GTMO apparel and other electronic equipment surround the treasure.

The Armed Forces Radio and Televi-sion Service reportedly last appraised the collection in 2007 and found that the only way to yield the maximum value of $2 million would be to auction the records and reels individually. But that’s impos-sible, since they’re government property, Wirfel said.

Radio GTMO, which has been on the island since the 1940s and in its present location since 1964, is the only source of American radio for American personnel on the base. It offers three stations — two play modern tunes and classic rock while the other is reserved for talk radio and news. The signal stops at the northeast gate, the entrance point to Castro’s Cuba.

The stations mainly play digitized songs, but the vinyl does come out for special events.

“We’ll play vinyl records during the radiothon (fundraiser) because we’ll get some really old requests,” said Petty Offi-cer 3rd Class Kevin Outzen, a disc jockey for the station.

“I’ve heard that Armed Forces Network would like those records back to be ar-chived and put into a museum,” he added.

When Marine Maj. Bridget Guerrero (ret.) set out to run a mile for each of the 160 female troops killed in Iraq and Af-ghanistan, she never thought that one of their moms would show up to support her along the way.

After training for months, Guerrero set out to run 160 miles around Wash-ington’s Puget Sound from July 30 – Aug. 2. When she noticed a stranger among the crowd that came out to sup-port her along the four-day trek, Guer-rero introduced herself — and quickly realized the woman was the most im-portant person there.

Re McClung, the mother of Maj. Me-gan McClung, an accomplished triath-lete and the first female Marine killed during the Iraq War, had come to wish Guerrero well.

She gave Guerrero her daughter’s service coin, which Guerrero kept duct-taped to her arm for the remainder of the race.

“To know she is running for my daughter … and to know that she is running with Meg’s coin and to know that funds she raises will pay forward to the daughter of another Marine — it’s overwhelming,” Re McClung wrote on Facebook.

Guerrero, who retired from active duty in 2000, said meeting McClung

and running with her daughter’s coin made the purpose of her mission all the more salient.

“She said that Megan would be sit-ting on my shoulder the whole run,” Guerrero said. “I think we joked around and I said I hoped she wasn’t too heavy.”

Guerrero’s Valor Run honored Mc-Clung and the other 159 female service

members who have been killed in Iraq and Afghanistan.

She hoped to raise $5,000 for vari-ous charities, including the U.S. Marine Corps Scholarship Foundation, which dispenses money in McClung’s honor.

Guerrero said she ran to highlight the sacrifices of servicewomen.

“The media very rarely recognizes fe-

male losses, so when the average Ameri-can thought of those losing their lives in Iraq or Afghanistan, they’d automati-cally think they were men,” she said.

She said she also hoped her run would highlight the inroads female Ma-rines are making as new opportunities

The Army intends to open all but one field artillery military occupation specialty – 13F fire support specialist – to female sol-diers, a move that would cover 21,000 pre-viously male-only jobs, a Pentagon spokes-man said Tuesday.

Women could be authorized by late Oc-tober to serve in the newly opened cannon crewmember and field artillery automated data systems specialist MOSs, according to Army spokesman Paul Prince, who said Defense Secretary Ash Carter sent official notification to Congress last month.

The move comes as the military con-tinues efforts to end prohibitions against

women serving in traditionally male com-bat jobs.

In 2013, then-Defense Secretary Leon Panetta rescinded a 1994 Pentagon policy barring women from serving in battalion-size or smaller combat units. The goal: to integrate qualified female troops into most, if not all, jobs by 2016.

Each service has until Sept. 30 to pro-vide Carter its recommendations on imple-menting women into remaining closed po-sitions. Each must provide official waivers to the secretary explaining their reasoning

Navy triples maternity leave to 18 weeks

Alone on the airfield, one cart is re-served for heroes.

With blue paint, red carpet and Amer-ican flag curtains, the customized cart carries the remains of fallen service mem-bers along their journey home to their fi-nal resting place.

It’s the most visible component of the Alaska Airlines Fallen Soldier Program, which ensures the remains are treated with respect and dignity upon arrival.

A group of airline employees who felt that fallen heroes and veterans deserved special care when being transported to their final resting place launched a spe-cial program that’s now in place at San Diego International Airport.

The Alaska Airlines Fallen Soldier Program has added a customized patri-otic cart to be used at Lindbergh Field.

The Honor Cart arrived Aug. 4 after traveling 1,200 miles from Seattle under escort by Patriot Guard Riders with new riders joining the ride all along the way.

“People would be honking, showing flags,” said program volunteer Jim Rea. “It was a very humbling experience.”

With plaques representing each branch of the armed service inside and

out, the cart is painted blue with red car-pet and American flag curtains.

Three months after Navy Secretary Ray Mabus proposed more maternity leave for sailors and Marines, the sea service has tripled the amount of time off from six weeks to 18 weeks.

The new policy took effect on Wednesday, according to a message to the fleet. The expanded benefit will better support women in the service and improve recruiting and retention, Mabus said.

“We have incredibly talented women who want to serve, and they also want to be mothers and have the time to fulfill that important role the right way,” he said in a statement on Wednesday. “We can do that for them.”

He added, “Meaningful maternity leave when it matters most is one of the best ways that we can support the wom-en who serve our county. This flexibility is an investment in our people and our Services, and a safeguard against losing skilled service members.”

The secretary first talked about extending maternity leave during a speech at the U.S. Naval Academy in May, when he said it would be doubled to 12 weeks. In July, he tripled the fig-ure to 18 weeks.

Under the new rule, the additional time off may be taken immediately af-ter the six weeks of convalescent leave previously authorized, or taken incre-mentally over the course of the first year after the child’s birth. The balance of the leave must be used up within that first year.

There were 71,000 women in the Navy and Marine Corps as of January, of which some 27,000 were married, according to Defense Department data.

The new rule doesn’t apply to adop-tive parents. Adoption leave, which is also considered non-chargeable, is cur-rently 21 days for both male and female sailors and Marines. Adoption leave does not count against regular leave time.

The new benefit also doesn’t ap-ply to paternity leave. Married service members are allowed 10 days of pater-nity leave under a 2008 law that stress-es the word “married,” though service officials are considering expanding the benefit for single sailor fathers, Navy Times has reported.

“When the women in our Navy and Marine Corps answer the call to serve, they are making the difficult choice to be away from their children – some-times for prolonged periods of time – so that they can do the demanding jobs that we ask them to do,” Mabus said. “With increased maternity leave, we can demonstrate the commitment of the Navy and Marine Corps to the women who are committed to serve.”

On July 16, Mohammad Yous-suf Abdulazeez opened fire on a military recruiting station, then moved on to a U.S. Navy/

Marine Corps Reserve Center just miles away, ultimately killing four Marines, one Sailor, and injuring two more people.

In the wake of this attack, the idea of granting our nation’s servicemembers the use of concealed weapons on our military installations has swept the nation. While the attack is being considered a “lone wolf ” operation, ISIS has made public claims of responsibility. The terror group has been encouraging these lone wolf at-tacks for some time, calling on their sup-porters within the U.S. to act.

At first thought, one might think, “yes of course, let them carry,” but the decision is more complicated than a simple yes or no. Allowing every soldier, sailor, marine, and airman to carry without considering the finer details could have deadly conse-quences.

In the last couple of years, law enforce-ment across the country, especially within the federal sector, has been hammering active shooter training for their officers. The chaotic and unknown nature of ac-tive shooter scenarios, coupled with the

panic of victims, has created headaches for first responders.

Typical response guidelines encourage the first officer or officers on the scene to make entry and neutralize the threat as soon as possible to prevent further blood-shed. One issue of major concern in ac-tive shooter response is the danger of “blue-on-blue” incidents. This term refers to friendly fire instances where officers draw down or even fire on other officers unknowingly, usually because one officer is either off-duty or in plain clothes and therefore not recognized by the respond-ing officers.

One might ask how this relates to con-cealed carry on military facilities. Imag-ine a scenario much like the one that occurred at Fort Hood in 2014. In this situation, an Iraq war veteran, who suf-fered from apparent mental health issues, opened fire on other servicemembers. Three people were killed and 16 were in-jured before the shooter took his own life.

Now put yourself in the shoes of a DoD police officer responding to that 911 call just around the corner, only in this sce-nario military members are permitted to carry concealed weapons on post. As you enter the building, gun drawn at the ready, clearing a hallway, you spot a male wear-ing an army uniform, gun in-hand emerg-

Taking confessionA man goes to confession and says,

“Forgive me father for I have sinned.” The priest asks if he would like to con-fess his sins, and the man replies that he used the “F-word” over the weekend.

The priest says, “Oh OK, just say three Hail Marys, and try to watch your language.”

The man replies that he would like to confess as to why he said the “F-word.” The priest sighs and tells him to con-tinue.

“Well, father, I played golf on Sun-day with my buddies instead of going to church.”

The priest says, “And you got upset over that and swore?”

The man replied, “No, that wasn’t why I swore. On the first tee I duck-

hooked my drive well left into the trees.” The priest said, “And that’s when you

swore.” The man replied, a little testily be-

cause of the constant interruptions, “No, it wasn’t. When I walked up the fair-

way, I noticed my ball got a lucky bounce and I had a clear shot to the green. However, before I could hit the ball, a squirrel ran by and grabbed my ball and scurried up a tree.”

The priest asked, “Is that when you said the ‘F-word?’”

The man replied, “No, because an eagle then flew by and caught the squirrel in its sharp talons and flew away.”

The priest let out a breath and que-ried, “Is that when you swore?”

The man replied, “No, because the eagle flew over the green, and the dy-ing squirrel let go of my golf ball and it landed within 5 inches of the hole.”

The priest screamed, “Don’t tell me you missed the f...ing putt!”

plains that her husband is losing inter-est in sex. The doctor gives her a pill, but

warns her that it’s still experimental. He tells her to slip it into his mashed

potatoes at dinner, so that night, she does just that.

About a week later, she’s back at the doctor, where she says, “Doc, the pill worked great! I put it in the potatoes like you said! It wasn’t five minutes later that he jumped up, raked all the food and dishes onto the floor, grabbed me, ripped all my clothes off, and ravaged me right there on the table!”

The doctor says, “I’m sorry, we didn’t realize the pill was that strong! The foundation will be glad to pay for any damages.”

“Nah,” she says, “that’s okay. We’re nev-er going back to that restaurant anyway.”

The Army, for example, has opened more than 75,500 positions to women since 2012, when it began its integration program. The Marine Corps, however, has not opened any positions, waiting until recommendations are made to the defense secretary, a Marine Corps spokesman said.

More than 58,000 — or about 32 per-cent — of active duty Marine Corps jobs remain closed to women. The spokesman said the service is looking at every job in the

Corps individually to determine whether female Marines could serve in the role. He said those decisions have not been made.

In the Army, about 124,000 positions, primarily in the infantry, armor and Spe-cial Forces fields, will remain closed to women for now. Prince said a final decision about those — including the field artillery MOS that works with infantry and armor units — has yet to be made.

“We’ve done a lot of pilot programs, we’ve done a lot of physical testing, we’ve done a lot of testing on how we integrate women into units, and those are all going well,” Army Chief of Staff Gen. Raymond Odierno told Army Times on Monday. “We want the best person, if they’re qualified and meet the standards, we want to give them the opportunity to do whatever they want.”

A Marine working in the office of Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-Alpine) was arrested near the Capitol after authorities dis-covered he was in possession of a loaded handgun.

Gunnery Sgt. Peter Boby, an active-du-ty Marine working as a fellow in an adviso-ry role in Hunter’s office, was found with a .45-caliber handgun. He was charged with carrying a pistol without a license, carry-ing an unregistered firearm and carrying unregistered ammunition.

In a statement, Hunter praised Boby’s work and said the incident was probably an accident.

“Peter has been a top-notch perform-

er,” Hunter said. “He’s a hero who’s seen combat, who’s been wounded and who’s been in good standing with the Marine Corps throughout. We are still getting the facts, but this was most likely an accident. There’s no reason to suggest it was inten-tional.”

Capitol Police spokeswoman Lt. Kim-berly Schneider said Boby was being pro-cessed at police headquarters.

A representative of Hunter’s office said the Marine Corps will ultimately decide whether Boby, who he said had done tours of duty in Iraq and Afghanistan, serves out the remainder of his one-year fellowship, which he began in January.

YOU& YOURMONEY

By Norman L. MachtMilitaryPress

It’s a lot simpler to earn money during your lifetime than it is to pass it on to others when you die. That’s because laws are

written by legislatures filled with law-yers, who are seemingly incapable of composing anything in plain, unam-biguous language, which, of course, provides plenty of employment for other lawyers.

I am not a lawyer, and nothing I say here is meant to be legal advice, nor should it be taken as such. They are opinions based on experience, and intended solely to prod you into think-ing about a subject you may rather not think about.

For example, everybody should have a will.

Doesn’t matter how much or how little property you own. There can be some little thing — an old car or a boat, maybe, or a small bank ac-count — that has no clear provision for someone to claim it.

That can force whoever is left to clean up after you into an intermi-nable maze of red tape, blind alleys, contradictory directions from bu-reaucrats, impenetrable computer systems, lawyers’ offices and maybe a psychologist’s couch.

A simple will might spare someone that agony. Might.

A will doesn’t have to be compli-cated, filled with repetitive, mean-ingless legalese — unless, of course, a lawyer does it. You can write your own will, even in your own handwriting, in which case it doesn’t have to be wit-nessed. (If it’s typed, it has to be wit-nessed.)

But it’s tricky. You have to follow the rules, which can be found online in the state probate laws. If you die without a will (intestate), state law dictates who gets what.

You should name an executor, the person to carry out your wishes and file the will for probate, which means the court’s approving its va-lidity. (In some states a lawyer is re-quired to do this, even if your execu-tor is capable.)

If you want to use a lawyer, save yourself some time and money by writing out in advance everything you want in your will, including contin-gencies, like what happens if someone named in the will dies before or at the same time you do.

You can always change or add to a will.

Some people would benefit by having a revocable living trust,

Save agony, plan for the end of life

By Howard HianMilitaryPress

On a recent getaway, we discov-ered a dandy surprise: The full-service Pala Casino Spa Resort, in North County San Diego.

After an efficient check-in, my wife and I headed to the Pala Privileges Center to sign up for their rewards program and the 60 Plus Club. Then we eased into va-cation mode with relaxing massages at the full-service Pala Spa.

There are tranquil indoor and outdoor relaxation and treatment areas, a state-of-the art fitness center and a boutique. The balance of the day was spent loung-ing in a cabana by the pool.

That evening, we went to Choices, The Buffet. It’s the largest in Southern Cali-fornia, featuring eight themed food sta-tions. My favorite was the amazing array of seafood.

During our stay, we enjoyed break-fasts at Cafe Amore and the Pala Cafe and lunch at the Promenade Deli.

Dinner at The Cave was the highlight of our gustatory adventures. The Cave has a lounge with live entertainment and a wine cellar with almost 500 labels to choose from. Chef Luciano Cibelli pre-pares locally sourced, modern Italian cui-

sine with a Mediterranean flair.The menu is inventive with small

bites, bites, large bites and last bites. We grazed on mussels, flatbread, salad, meat-balls, risotto and, of course, dessert (last bite). The latter was home-made donuts with chocolate Nutella sauce.

An after dinner drink in the Cave Lounge listening to music completed a wonderful getaway day. In the morning, during a walkabout to further scope out the resort, we discovered a meditation maze and a well-marked 1.5-mile walking trail. It was hard to believe how quickly we entered backcountry terrain so close to a luxury resort.

Our attention then turned to the main attraction, the casino. It features slots,

table games, bingo and, of course, my fa-vorite, poker. Fortunately, I was there on a Sunday when a daytime hold ’em tour-nament was scheduled (the others are Thursday – Saturday nights). The game turned out to be a World Poker Tour sat-ellite with some serious competition.!The poker room is well run and clearly has a local following.!

It’s easy to understand how Pala earned its coveted Four Diamond rating. And, at trip’s end, there’s nothing better than a short drive home.

At work today, I took charge of the team. Afterward, my boss asked where that came from. My answer was easy.

line customers, is a large decal that says “Alaska Airlines Honoring the Fallen” along with a star and emblems for the five armed services.

Volunteers make sure a certain proto-col is followed every time a fallen mem-ber of the U.S. military travels on Alaska Airlines.

They are from employees in every de-partment.

“You don’t have to be a veteran you don’t have to have served your country you just need to care for the men and women who make our lives possible ev-ery day,” said program volunteer Brett Magran.

San Diego is the fifth city to receive an Alaska Airlines Honor cart. They are also in place at Los Angeles, Portland, An-chorage and Seattle airports.

Even though it’s managed by Alaska Airlines it will be available for any airline to use.

ing from an office. Assuming you have the presence of mind to use verbal commands before resorting to deadly force, you shout “STOP” and as you do, the on-edge soldier turns in your direction, gun raised. The likely ending to this scenario is that one of the two shoots the other before realizing that neither is the suspect. This is just one of the many concerns with on-post con-cealed carry. Whatever good can come of soldiers carrying will quickly be lost if sol-diers and police officers start dying at each other’s hands.

This is by no means an effort to pre-vent policy change. As a member of the armed forces myself, I am on board, and have wanted to see this law for quite some time. However, in order to prevent more tragic loss, substantial consideration needs to be given to training and policy should on-post concealed carry come to fruition. Those in our nation’s military share at least one thing in common if nothing else; the desire to help people and defend this country.

There are several possible consider-ations that could reduce the probabil-ity of blue-on-blue situations. Perhaps, while on post, servicemembers should be required to convert to open carry, thus al-lowing others to know who is and is not, which might help when coordinating a response. Or maybe policies need to be enacted where should an active shooter scenario arise, armed servicemembers are to stay sheltered in place and only use the firearm if the shooter is within their immediate vicinity. Another idea is to re-quire servicemembers wishing to exercise their right to carry, to undergo training

similar to the “plain clothes encounters” training that many police officers receive.

This training reinforces what off-duty or plain clothes officers should do if they encounter responding officers, a training program that most states require in basic police curriculum. Either way, whatever direction policymakers choose , safety is the number- one priority. While the pos-sibility exists for accidents to happen, Servicemembers should not be deprived of the means to defend themselves, espe-cially considering the current threat cli-mate.

open to women in the Corps.“A lot more occupational special-

ties are available to women, and with that comes a risk of losing your life — and there are 160 who have,” she said. “We want to honor the sacrifices that our sisters have made, and all of us are willing to make, just as much as the men are.”

Guerrero’s race was the second Valor Run since Navy Reserve Capt. Nancy Lacore founded the organiza-tion in 2014.

Lacore said she hadn’t envisioned her race as something that would in-spire followers, but was thrilled that Guerrero was taking it bicoastal.

“It validates for me that this is the right thing to do,” she said.

“I never thought someone else would be crazy enough to do it.”

Guerrero, 47, enjoyed robust sup-port along the 160-mile route, which began in Oak Harbor, near McClung’s hometown, and ended in Tacoma.

At various points along the way, she was joined by retired and active-

duty service members, family mem-bers of deceased troops and in one case a very old friend.

Matthew Denney, a retired Ma-rine who ran alongside Guerrero at amphibious warfare training in the mid-1990s, flew from his home in Bend, Ore., early Saturday morning and met Guerrero along the third leg of her race.

They hadn’t seen one another since 2001, but Denney ran 30 miles by Guerrero’s side.

“I originally tried to come up with a good reason why I couldn’t go run with her,” Denney said. “But this is something that warrants attention and support.”

Guerrero, a lifelong runner who served as a communications and in-telligence officer with 4th Reconnais-sance Battalion, was a member of the Corps’ marathon, super-marathon and pentathlon teams.

She lives in Edmonds, Wash., with her husband, Dan, son, Sam, and twin daughters, Claire and Ella.

bored for years came true.“He looked at me, pulled his glasses

down like some kind of college profes-sor. There’s a big, red, top-secret fold-er that he got out of some safe some-where that had my name on it. He pats this folder, looks me in the eye and says, ‘You will audit the auditors. Won’t you, Maj. Bambi?’”

When Dana asks him how his life is different from the way he might have imagined, Duna-gan points out that all the wounds he suffered in service, all the honors he’s earned along the way, still haven’t changed a thing.

“I have some holes in my body that God didn’t put there. I got shot through my left knee. Got an award or two for saving lives over time,” he says. “But I

think I could have been appointed as the aide-de camp in the White House, it wouldn’t make any difference — it’s Bambi that’s so dear to people.”

No matter how he tried to escape it, that voice from his past always found

him.“But I love it now

— when people re-alize, ‘This old jerk, he’s still alive and was Bambi.’ And I wouldn’t take any-thing for it, not a darn thing for it.”

StoryCorps is a national nonprofit that gives people the chance to interview friends and loved ones about their lives.

These conversa-tions are archived at the American Folklife Center at the Library of Con-gress, allowing par-ticipants to leave a

legacy for future generations. You can hear Dunagan’s interview

with his wife and learn more at Story Corps.org.

Wirfel confirmed that the military is working hard to digitize the collec-tion with the intent of turning it over to AFRTS.

Adrian Cronauer, the Air Force DJ portrayed by Robin Williams in the classic film “Good Morning,Vietnam,” said the collection is a “tremendous re-source, and it should be put in a collec-tion somewhere, a museum, a record

company.”Radio GTMO also broadcasts tele-

vision programming from the U.S., and was reportedly the first Navy tele-vision outlet to have live studio color capabilities. Jarod Collins, a petty offi-cer and engineer at Radio GTMO, said the television signal comes in from sat-ellites positioned in Europe on a six-hour delay.

“So instead of Game of Thrones coming on at 9 a.m., it comes on later in the afternoon,” Collins said.

One advantage: it avoids pro-bate fees. It might save on es-tate taxes, especially if it’s what’s called a generation-skipping trust, which names grandchil-dren as the beneficiaries instead of their parents.

Don’t try to write your own trust. But be alert — some lawyers download a generic form, filled in by an aide, and it might contain verbiage you didn’t ask for and don’t want. Not all lawyers are equally competent in the areas of wills and trusts.
