OLD BILL
Top of the morning fellow Troopers and Warriors,
Thanks again for tuning in to The Morning Report and making blv.dot.org
part of your day.
This is Old Bill your blv.dot.org Morning Report Clerk bringing you
up-to-date on contributions, photos, or commentaries on The Morning Report.
We have a special treat for you today, an aerospace tour of the BLV, yet
absent of all the glory of its heyday; but first let's check-up on the yearbooks.
There is nothing more rejuvenating than stepping back in time and reliving our
duty at assigned posts . . . or viewing a photo of an ole buddy . . . or ghostly
haunting hooches at the BLV where we once spent a year of our late youth and to
reflect that yearbooks add to the fulfillment this wonder.

OUR BROTHERS AT WAR: "If I receive this email one thousand times, then one
thousand times I will forward it," is what the emailer wrote. It is beyond blv.dot.org
to deny our heartfelt greetings that we again re-extend to our brother warriors and
their families since Morning Report III. The whole of the Western Corridor is
invited to extend appreciation to the Marines, the Air Force, the Navy, and the
Army at war in the Middle East--our prayers are with you.
GUEST BOOK Please open the Home (Index) Page and feel free to sign and view
the Camp Blue Lancer Valley Roll book.

YEARBOOKS: blv.dot.org extends its appreciation to SP5 Richard White, assigned
to the Medic Platoon at the BLV who priority-mailed (USPS) us his priceless 1966
Yearbook. This year's production was less than satisfactory as many names were
misspelled, vaguely printed, and the few overall camp photos were poorly identified
and published. Still, nothing can replace the photo you wish had been taken--and
these rare surviving yearbooks prove this adage.
This yearbook presented a totally new subject, the Boy Scouts of Korea with
two photos of the young troopers. The recently added Motor Pool page displays a
full photo of the humongous shops, while the nearby Main Gate provides a change
in the entry sign and of the guard shack. The Battalion Headquarters page boasts a
new photo of the front doors and a very interesting soldier's duty. Two photos
bring better light to the HHC Trooper's area.
Trooper Martinez reminds all viewers that all text and photos are subject to
your corrections and/or additional comments. For your convenience, all new
material or addenda is in red font for the duration of this Morning Report IV.

DEMILITARIZED ZONE AND IMJIN RIVER SCOUTS: blv.dot.org pauses
briefly to salute and recognize those gallant and valiant brothers who stood together
Guarding Freedoms Frontier. Neither the elements, chemical agents, nor enemy
bullets discriminated between the crests of patrols within corps, divisions, or within
this unique band of brothers. There is no doubt that there was not one scout that
would not have stood shoulder to shoulder in sharing the receiving of hostile fire or
commit to defend the life of his brother next to him.
Please join blv.dot.org on this July of 2007, fifty-four years after the armistice,
in continued memory of our Korean War and DMZ and Cold War fallen heroes,
and survivors, and that in such rememberance, Korea is not forgotten.
REUNIONS: blv.dot.org announces the opening of a REUNIONS page. Please
click to view data of upcoming fellowshipping.

As we sign off this morning, special greetings are again extended to our
brothers at the Joint Security Area, the DMZ-Imjin Scouts, and patrols guarding
freedom's frontier on the Z. Your fellow brothers recognize your dedication to duty
especially under today's weather conditions.
And to all of you out there in the guard towers, on the Imjin, at the field, in
convoy, anywhere in the division area, or cruising the (uh) vill, thanks for
logging-on to your website and The Morning Report.
And blv.dot.org salutes one last greeting to all of you short timers out there
who were living up your final hours at the E.M. Club last night, or (uh) on sweet
mischief--you will surely be missed (like dripping rain). :)
For those just signing-in on the duty roster or submitting material, stand at
rest. Please bear patiently as your admin clerk, Trooper Martinez, returns to the
orderly room. He has been ordered by the C.O. to review, post, and report to you
immediately upon his return from sleeping-in late from guard duty. He was kicked
out of his bunk and ordered to the orderly room by Spanky (1SG).
Please bear with us as your Morning Reports are as regular as is the material
submitted to us. Hasta la vista compadres, this is El Viejito Memo** reminding you
to mira-mira the duty roster for possible detail and remember, Semper Paratus and
Rock of the Marne.

GHOST WALKERS. A very unique and elite unit in Korea has been brought to
light. Your attention is invited to the Locator page and read a request of a one time
Ghost Walker.
And now for that special aerospace tour of the BLV. Your pilot reminds you
to buckle-up in the chopper as we approach and tour the BLV from the village of
NulloRi in a wild flight around and into the compound.
