Correct

I'm not sure why we get to claim him, but it's got to have to do with him living and dying here

(Of course, he's buried at Arlington)


So that leaves 3, 2 of which were born here
Paul Ronald Lambers and John Essenbag Jr.

Makes me wonder where Gordon Douglad Yntema fits in

Joe Teuton's cars. Houma, LA

They own Southland CJDR, in Houma and were own Southland Speed & Performance. They have a lot of history. Been around for a long log time. In my opinion the best Mopar engine builders in the deep South. They know hemis.

They built an engine I spec'd out. I bought all the parts from Hughes and had them put it together. Hughes ported Edelbrock heads, cam, roller lifters, K1 crank and rods, Diamond pistons, main stud girdle, Procharger D1SC, ..... Dyno'd at 650 hp, 598 lb/ft torque

They were the only shop in 500+ miles that had a machine shop that could handle bushing the lifter bores and machining for the girdle.

The Battle Against Malaria during WWII
Posted on April 20, 2015 by madsal13


In the beginning of the Second World War, a disease called malaria proved to be heavily detrimental to the allied forces and their fight against dictatorship. Malaria, which produces extremely high fevers and other flu-like symptoms due to a specific infected mosquito bite, was the cause of death for roughly 500,000 American soldiers at the dawn of World War II. In addition to high fevers, excessive sweating and the chills were also among the common symptoms of malaria, which had the power to put soldiers out of combat for up to a week or more.

This is from "The Amazing Life of Audie Murphy-
Murphy volunteered for service right after the attack on Pearl Harbor, although he was only 15 years old. Rejected because of his age, he waited until he turned 16, then passed himself off as 18 years old. Murphy was rejected by the Marines because he was only 5'5". He was rejected by the Navy because he was too skinny at 110 pounds. The Army accepted him, but did not want to send him into combat because he looked so young. Murphy insisted on combat duty, and was granted the opportunity. After training in Morocco, he went into combat in Italy and later France.



He was pulled out of action twice for malaria and three times for being wounded in action, but always went straight back to the front. He was actually wounded five times, but twice refused medical treatment. Murphy was credited with killing 240 German soldiers, capturing many others, and destroying six tanks single-handedly. You can find a chronology of his heroic war exploits here. Image from the movie To Hell and Back.

You're not alone.
The German army's 1943 flooding of the Pontine Marshes south of Rome, which later caused a sharp rise in malaria cases among Italian civilians, has recently been described by historian Frank Snowden as a unique instance of biological warfare and bioterrorism in the European theater of war and, consequently, as a violation of the 1925 Geneva Protocol prohibiting chemical and biological warfare.
 
How's this for a random pic? That's me on the right 48 years ago in Myrtle Beach. My little sister on the left and my cousin in the middle.

I have been to the shop and seen those cars in person.
Nice friendly guys. Gave me the full nickel tour.
They make great Crawfish and BBQ as well
 
Since it is a picture thread I will post a few. The pan was done 9 months or so back and done a few things since.
Found a trans pan I forgot I had so shined it up. The before 1st pic sanded one spot to see if the metal has lots of flaws, as sometimes stuff can have tons of small holes when cast.

Learn something new every day! I thought Malaria was only a problem in the Pacific theater and jungles.
