About Bob Konrad & Military Matters in Fayette

I am Bob Konrad a WWII US Navy Veteran; legally I am Robert J. Konrad and that's Konrad with a "K". I have been deeply involved in local Veterans issues since I joined Peachtree City VFW Post 9949 in December 1999 and particularly since I was elected Quartermaster in April 2000: I hold this office now and have been reelected each year since 2000.

The Fayette Front Page asked if I would consider writing a Blog on Military Matters (I thought I was agreeing to writing Veterans items). I reported that I accepted and when I saw the title I pleaded that I had very little involvement with the military life since I served only 105 weeks out of my nearly 82 years. They convinced me I could concentrate on Veterans items and perhaps my Granddaughter who joined the US Air Force in the summer of 2006 and served a short time in Iraq late this year could write something.

At our Christmas gathering in Buffala, NY, Danielle's sister Gabrielle told us she has decided to take a commission in the US Air Force after her college graduation this summer. Perhaps I will get either or both of these Graddaughters to write something about their service.

If you are Retired Military or active in the Military and have items you would like to submit for publication in this section I would welcome them.
