We have those in Hot Springs as well. A few years ago, one of them sank and several people were drowned in Lake Hamilton. I think that the investigation showed that they got caught under the awning and were taken down with the boat.

My 'Duck Force' motto actually comes from when I was in Iraq. It's a long story, but the unofficial name for the small unit (9 folks in all) I was in was the Combined Joint Duck Force - 9. We have a patch and everything. Part of the name comes from having to 'duck' rockets and mortars from time to time at the place we were at...
