Every year in our little community we have a Veteran's Day breakfast and ceremony. There are at least six attendees who participated in D-Day. The fly-by is led by NCRS Member Mac Angel (1304) silver star winner and former Thunderbird pilot. The speaker this year was the gold star mother of Sgt Casey Joyce, who was killed in the Black Hawk Down battle in Mogadishu. Support our troops who fight and die for our freedom, so that we may live in the best country in the world and participate in our great Corvette hobby!

Every day at DFW R&R troops arrive from the war zones about 10AM CST. They are greeted by a hundred volunteers or more. Very heartening to see the troops come out of customs and see the flag waving crowd waiting for them. http://www.dfwairport.com/heroes/index.php

Maintenance officer - 321st Strategic Missile Wing, Grand Forks AFB, North Dakota, 1971-1974

Mechanical Engineer, FLTSATCOM System Program Office, Space and Missile Systems Organization (SAMSO) Los Angeles Air Force Station, El Segundo, California (affectionatey known as "The Hollywood Air Force"), 1974-1979

Yesterday, I stopped by to wish a Happy Veteran's Day to my 80-something neighbor up the block, "Fuzz" Nash. He was a landing craft coxswain (USN) off an attack transport at Iwo Jima and Okinawa.

My late father was Army Ordnance Corps during WW II and spent time at Aberdeen Proving Ground in tank development and various auto plants as a production engineer for military equipment. Prior to the War he was with the Pontiac Sales and Service organization and was Portland Zone Manager when he was called to active duty in 1942.

Duke

Duke, We were at Grand Forks together. 321 SMW, 446 SMS, E-0, 72 to 76.
Those were some cold winters! I still have the 1970 coupe I bought used in Grand Forks in 1973.
Rick, USAF Ret. 1972 -2000.
