Yeah, thatâs me. Standing on the Eiffel Tower and loving it.
There are 55 guys back in the barracks in Germany wishinâ I was dead.
Why? Well theyâre up to their elbows in grunt work: Painting,
refurbishing, polishing, moving beds, mattresses, clothes lockers…making our tired and worn out Munich post come to life once more.
Been dead since the end of the war. In moth balls. And here I am.Â
Alive, well, and enjoying every minute. Ainât my fault. The Sergeant Major asked for a volunteer to drive nails for a couple of weeks. I figured driving nails was better than painting, and all the rest of the crap we were havinâ to do, so I volunteered.
None of us knew at the time that âNailsâ was the nicknameÂ
of the new commanding general of our division.Â
So here I am. Driving âNailsâ and lovinâ it. While heâs stuck in meetings, Iâm seeing the sights. Yeah, back at the post, they all wish I was dead or theyâre wishinâ they were here instead of me. And Iâm sending post cards back to the post saying, âWish you were here, Love âNails!ââ
