Sarge said:Peter, the way Mogens got to be in the USAF? His mother was American, his father Danish. I had something similar myself. My mother was Native American (Cherokee) and my father was Irish. I was born and raised in England and because Dad moved around I got to live in nice places, like Abu Dhabi. They had about 10 kids and we never thought anything was unusual in the way my mother looked or talked. Of course not, we spent most of our lives with her. Then one day, home on leave from the British Forces, I asked Mum about her background. She let slip that I was also an American from birth, not just British. I managed to get an early out from the British military and caught the train to London to get a US passport. 24 hours later I was on a jet to the USA. I landed in Washington DC with $4.19 in my pocket and a backpack with half a dozen pairs of socks. That was February 25th 1975. Because it was snowing hard and very cold, I starting hitching South and West. I was homeless for about seven months. The next 32 years flew by. I could write several books about my adventures during those 32 years. But I won't. I spent 25 years in the military, pulling 8 overseas tours. I was never stationed in the US, so sometimes it is a culture shock even today.
Now I'm living the dream!
