    Very nicely done OP.

    I won't go into all the details, but I am sure glad you did. Hearing, learning, sharing those kind of stories should never be hindered.
    -My Grandfather fought & was wounded in WW1. Died of the gas-ruined lungs by 60. I did get the chance to know & love him.
    -My Great Uncle was with the 6th Rgt, 4th Bgd, USMC, and fought at Belleau Woods. He survived that but died two years later of diabetes.
    -My Father fought, wounded, shot-down twice, and a PoW in WW2. Lived to 95. Started in B-24s, retired in B-52s, flew (shot at every day) in Laos w/ AAm during Vietnam. Amazing tales, experiences.
    -My Uncle fought & wounded WW2. U.S. Marine, 1/7, Guadalcanal, all the way through to Okinawa. Was also 1 of 7 in his platoon of 69 to survive.
    -Two other Uncles hit the beach at Normandy. One came home early, wounded. The other made it all the way to Berlin. He had wicked tales of the action along the way.
    -My brother fought & wounded (3x) in Vietnam...

    BUCKLE UP! It makes it harder for Aliens to pull you out of your Truck.
    Here is an odd screen shot of a film of a Sopwith Camel with what appears to me to be the number 91 on the side IMG_4350.jpgThat’s strange because my cousin Thomas Williams piloted Camels and his pilots license number was 91, signed by Orville Wright.IMG_2186.jpg
