Hi  

   

For those who have or are serving and especially those who have been injured or killed, please accept my thanks for your service. Although I am a Canadian, I appreciate the service of all in the coalition fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan. Memorial Day has given more than a few outside of America pause for thought about the cost of Freedom.  

   

Lest we forget….

Les, I served and have lost some members of my Army  flight class throughout the years while they served our country defending it. I  appreciate your thoughts and wish others wouldn't simply take the cost of  freedom for granted. It was earned, not given.. but some simply will never  understand that.

 Thanks!

 Pascal

Remember that fact when everyone votes in November.  It was an honor to serve this country in uniform. Military Command Leadership is no light responsibility.

Hey Les,



Thanks!  I was in Vietnam -- on the ground -- '68-'69 and it's sad, but I'm always pleasantly surprised to get even an indirect thanks.  Even if I may have disagreed with why we were there,  it was what it was and we surely didn't get "thanks" at the time.



By the way -- back at ya!  Even with selective memory, I'm sure there were Canadian units there as well.



Back to building -- today my upper arms are black and blue from stretching and squeezing to the max to back the last rivets in the last panel of the wings yesterday -- you guys who say you did it alone must have ape hanger arms!  Happy Memorial Day!



(the group kinda latched onto the "Swiss watch" comment -- must have struck a chord!)



Later, - Lew



do not archive

Lew, '67 & '68 for me. When I was a kid, we didn't celebrate Memorial Day (I believe it was called Decoration Day back then). We celebrated it on April 26th.

The holiday for soldiers and veterans was always Armistice Day, now called Veterans Day in November. I remember Audy Murphy riding in a jeep in our hometown parade that day - a least my fuzzy memory likes to think it was that day....



I'm surprised you were able to do those skins by yourself; I couldn't have done it without my wife running the gun.

John
