Thanks for the great photos! I'll spend Memorial Day at Ft. Sam Houston National Cemetery next week. My dad was killed in action
over Tokyo in 1945 and I appreciate all the sacrifices of our troops overseas. Thanks, again.

Good idea Chip. I was thinking about stopping by on the way home tomorrow (I work at the Pentagon) and getting a Corvette/Iwo Jima shot.

How about a couple of pics taken with USAF airplanes? These were shot at Lackland AFB, San Antonio Texas.

VetteCrazyRichard, very sorry to hear about your dad. Was he part of a B-29 crew? My dad was a bombardier - luckily survived many "trips" over Tokyo in 1945 including a crash landing in the ocean off the coast of Iwo Jima.

No pics of the car at the cemetary my dad is buried in, but will be stopping by on the way through Webster, FL and Florida National cemetery on Saturday to spend some time with him. Miss him more and more every day, and dont get to spend much time there any longer, living in Georgia. Every time I visit my condo in Florida and drive, I make sure I stop to say hello to him and all other service men that are no longer with us.

Chip, Your first photo is....touching, is the only word I have. I saw Arlington in 1964, but have not been back since. I need to touch the Wall before I die.
Thank you

No pictures, but there hasn't been a day during the past 41 years that I haven't thought about those I served with and those who died in Vietnam. This coming week marks the 41st anniversary of the death of one of my good friends, who was killed when we were ambushed near Con Thien. Thank you to all of those who are serving or have served this great nation, but most of all God Bless those who have made the ultimate sacrifice.
