Sorry Kman, missed this post. I also missed the March episode. Tivo missed it too, or it wasn't as advertised. I did see it many "moons" ago, and seem to recall that the crescent symbol went all the way back to Napoleon and frency food-croissants...but, I don't remember that they were crackin' open C-rats on that show. FWIW.

**whoops, sorry about the double-post.**

Had it before they did, and that was a long time ago. Like The Civil War, and WW1, etc. Darn those supply people!
