I’m humbled. USN 1974 - 1994
Beautiful post.
U.S. Army ‘89-95, 99-02.
Whites' Great Hope? (Barack Obama and the Dream of a Color-Blind America)
From time to time, I’ll ping on noteworthy articles about politics, foreign and military affairs. FReepmail me if you want on or off my list.
You’re more than welcome. The honor was ours.
CPT., ARMOR
MACV, Class of ‘71
He was a combat Viet Nam Vet with two Purple Hearts. I miss him SO MUCH!!!
You are not the only one who misses him, hang in, and live.
I’m sorry for your loss. You have my sincere condolences.
Oh, SheLion, I am so sorry for your loss.
Today seemed to be a hard day for those of us who are missing veterans. Tomorrow will not be such a hard day. I hope we will be able to thank Him for giving us the time we had with those special Heroes, be they friends, brothers or sisters, fathers or mothers, husbands or wives, relatives or loved ones.
They loved our Country.
There has to be a very special place in Heaven where they all are together - some singing, some marching, some doing calesthentics, some standing at attention, saluting our beautiful flag - but all smiling with tenderness on those of us they had to leave behind.
Blessings to all who are missing their ‘special Vet’, today!

Oh I know the Lord took him for a good reason. He served his last 7 years as a First Sergeant, and what with the terrorism today, I believe the Lord needed a good 1st Sergeant!!!
He sure was a good one here on earth.
And I am SO sorry for your loss as well!
Thank you!
USAF 1993 - 2004
USAF Reserve 2004 - 2006
...and trying to get back in for the remainder of the 20.
I hope you are able to get back in! Good luck in your endeavor.
Isn’t the B-2 Spirit a close relative of the Flying Wing? (I believe it was a Northrop design)
I'm in a similar situation. Good luck! I've said some prayers for you.
The B-2 is a direct descendant from the Northrop YB-49 Flying Wing. In fact. shortly before he died, Jack Northrop was taken into a Top Secret briefing by the Air Force, and he was shown the design for the B-2.
Thanks!!
And I for you!
What? Did you know him????
Thank you SO much. It's not easy losing a spouse!!
Thank You,
..and for all the family members who give so much...
...and to my fellow vets, past, present, and future...a toast..*clink*
