Gunny And Me II...
1800 hrs. We arrived at the book signing with R. Lee Ermey at the Uptown Theater here in Kansas City, MO. R. Lee hasn't arrived yet but will be on time when the program is to begin at 1900 hrs. In the mean time refreshments are available in the cash bar, Cananyone tell me why cash bars are so exspensive? I spent $6.00 on two 20 ounce bottles of water and $2.00 on a pretzle. we spent some time talking to some people about the gunney and a liottle time perusing the book "Mail Call". It is a good book and well worth the $17.95 Tanis spent for it.
1915 hrs R. Lee Ermety is announced He comes on the Stage to the podium and Greets the audiance with " I am Gunnery Seargent Hartman and I am you Senior Drill Instructor. From Now on you will only speak when you are spoken to and the first and last words out of your filthy sewers will be sir, do you Maggots understand that."
The Audiance responds "Sir, yes Sir!"
R. Lee " BullShit, I Cant Hear You! Sound Off Like You Got A Pair"
The Audience responds Louder " Sir Yes Sir!"
"If you ladies leave my island, if you survive recruit training, you will be a weapon, you will be a minister of death praying for war, But until that time you are nothing but pukes, you are the ;lowesst form of life on earth, you not even human ..um.... this is a Family Show!"
the audience Laughs and applauds.
He begins by telling the audiance that it is good to back home where he grew up. when he was picked up he was asked what he would like to do before he went to the book signing.. " I wopuld like to go to the farm I was raised." So they went to the Address that he provided and found that the farm was replaced with the Kansas Speedway. So he gave an address of the house he lived in after moving from Emporia KS. He was plesantly surpirised to find it was in better condition than he remebered it to be in when his family first moved in. "Ah, the Nostolgia." he said.
He described his visits to afghanistan and Iraq and the morale of the servicemen and women and compared them to the current attitude seen here in America. " I feel that the morals of this country are slipping, but that in adversity the younger people in our services have pulled together and done what had to be done for the security of this country.and for that we should applaud them."
He mentioned that he has been in 75 movies he told us about the ways he auditioned and got the roles in those movies. He made great sacrefices for those roles. He described how he got Mail Call to Television and made it a hit that the History channel is proud of.
He also spoke of the VFW's Unmet Needs Program and that it is a good morale booster for our troops in providing help to thier famlilies whille they are fighting for our country. if you can please donate to this very worthy program. you can view thier web page here.
The effort he made to reach out to his fans, each one of them is impressive he made you feel that you were part of his life. he made you welcome to be there, and he was very humbled to be in our presence. I am impressed by his sincerity and his appreciation of the people who helped him be the success he is. As the people went to have thier books signed he reached out to them , and thanked them for thier support. He is truly a man of the people.
It was a fun night, Thank you to Tanis, for this birthday present.
