Default Re: Veterans Day

Barnstuf - Thank you for your service; my Uncle, no longer able to play with toys or drive at 97 years of age, is now relegated to an "armchair" status, but avidly reads about all the new cars plus hot rods plus anything else automotive related. He served as a Navigator and Communications Officer, 1340th US Army Air Force, Kunming, China and regularly flew the "hump." Incredible when you realize aircraft of the day were unable to fly over the Himalayan Mountains, but were required to navigate and fly the valleys, fog and adverse weather notwithstanding!
You and my Uncle, plus all the other WWII vets, quietly did your dangerous jobs, returned to the USA and built this country. May God continue to bless you, all other Veterans, and the USA. You have my undying gratitude!
