Sorry if this is the wrong place, but I wanted to reach the masses.

I'M COMING HOME!!!  After 26 years in the military that took me all over the globe, 5 years in college and 2 in HS in our northern border state, I am finally coming back to my sweet home...ARKANSAS!!!  And not just any town either...FAYETTEVILLE!!!   I have been a Hog fan since I was a young pup in the 70s.  I was born in Conway and grew up on the banks of the Mammoth Spring River.  My first attended Razorback game was watching our Hogs dismantle OU in the '78 Orange Bowl.

My family and I should be settling in sometime in early February 2016.  If happiness were money, I'd be a zillionaire!

That sums up my feelings perfectly.

Welcome back home.  I served as a minister for over 24 years and when I finally got the choice of where to land, I chose Home over the Smokies, Rockies and my second home East Texas.

Welcome home Welch. No better place to call home than the Home of the Razorbacks. And thank you very much for your service and sacrifice for our country.

My dad did 20; I was born on an air base. The only drawback to settling in NWA was, under the rules/regs of that time, we could go on any military base, and get free medical for the whole family (parents, plus five sons).

But NWA got no military base, anywhere close. Fortunately, no sickly kids, so we got through it.

Welcome home!  Nothing better than coming home or retiring from the service.  Two reasons to be proud!  WPS!
Wins are the only things that matter when the game ends.  The mistakes that happen in the game are corrected by good coaching during the week. A season of near losses means you won every game.

Thanks for your service and Welcome Home.
If the South should lose, it means that the history of the heroic struggle will be written by the enemy, that our youth will be trained by Northern school teachers, will be impressed by all of the influences of history and education to regard our gallant dead as traitors and our maimed veterans as fit subjects for derision.

Welcome home Welch and thank you for you and your family's service to all of us. Still have the awesome cutting board your Dad made for me and it's used about every day.
Have you ever listened to someone  or read what they put into thoughts and wondered...."who ties your shoelaces for you?"

Oh, no!  Were you on the old HogBoard run by Angie?  If so, you're not mistaking me for the Marine on there, are you?

We've all heard of the Greatest Generation.  I was born into the Luckiest Generation.  Vietnam was already over by the time I turned 18 and registered for the draft and I was in my 30s by the time Desert Storm started.  I've never served.

Yeah, my mistake.  It was the Hogboard and I did confuse you with the Marine.  Sorry for that.  Wonder whatever happened to Angie (and the board)?

And thank you for treating them to the game.  I still wear the shirt and hats on occasion.

My birth year was the last one they drafted from. My draft number was 318 out of 366 (leap year).

Secondly, the "banks of the Mammoth Spring River"? Would that be the northern stretch in Fulton County bordering Thayer, Mo or down near Hardy in Sharp County? Very, very familiar with those old stomping grounds.

Yes, I grew up in the town of Mammoth Spring.  My Dad was born and raised in Ash Flat.  His brother still lives there.
