The ones that we got from the Constitution Center were printed in Exton, Pa. But, I can't recommend them as a printer as I am in their area. I'll look at the others tomorrow.

Had I posted what I wrote, and had I wrote what I was thinking, I would have received a very long time out FRom JimRob and an even longer time out FRom you!

Took me a long, long time to cool down after reading AlaskaJerk's inane comment.

Please do not get me started!

[Taxman]

Thanks. Proud to be the newest member of the VetsCoR Board of Directors.

[abner]

I'm not getting anything started!!! LOL! I know better!

[Taxman]

Bet that was an exciting ride!

[Ms. AntiFeminazi]

Good job! Have a beautiful day tomorrow and thank you for doing this - for all of us.

BE SAFE!

[abner]

Thanks MAF. I will post photos tomorrow. Weather permitting, although it looks good.. . I should have photos from the ground and the air. Our shuttle pilot is bringing his new balloon(round) to fly along side the flag.

His balloon is gorgeous! He built it himself!

He is still looking for a suitable name for it.

You find it offensive? You are definitely in the minority.

I have seen first-hand the pride and patriotism that this Flag Balloon evokes in people that see it rise into the sky. You should see the children that look up into the sky and see this huge symbol of freedom and liberty! It is such a fine thing to see.

Although I respect veterans, you are also a crab apple.

[Taxman]

LOL! Don't knock it until you try it, bud!

Flying in a hot air balloon (and being Crew Chief for the tallest special shape hot air balloon in America, and a Space Shuttle at that!) is the most fun you can have with your clothes on!

Trust me!

And, hot air balloon pilot/crew parties rival the best parties I have ever been to!

In fact, it is Taxman's theory that the hot air balloon festival circuit is a continuous party interrupted at infrequent intervals for balloon launches and recoveries -- whereupon the party, never quite over, continues!

Think Energizer Bunny!

[Ms. AntiFeminazi]

Which way is up?

"But, I can't recommend them as a printer as I am in their area."

Not sure I understand the conflict.

Don't forget very little sleep...

For anyone who doubts Taxman's veracity-

Taxman is the one getting thrown into the pool... with the chair.

[abner]

That's good. Personally, I think the whole thing is "Pointless".

[Taxman]

LOL!

Hanging out with 20 year old kids is a good way to stay young at heart -- but it is tough on the heart!

[AnalogReigns]

No matter what some legalists may say about "decorum" I'm certain Washington, Madison, Jefferson, Hamilton, Lincoln, and the rest of the great Americans, especially all those hundreds of thousands of men who fought and bled for the stars and strips, WOULD APPROVE!!!!!

God bless you!

[Ms. AntiFeminazi]

Pointless!
Ah, much better! Only one word and it works. :)

[Taxman]

Is that Captain John's new ride?

[abner]

I wouldn't know, I was trying to get some sleep at that hour... Ok, so I took the photo, but I went straight to bed!

[abner]

Yes sir. It is. I should have better pics of it tomorrow. And, he only needs 2 or 3 crew.

[abner]

Or he could use your tagline... LOL
