40 years ago!

Rocky Raab

It was exactly 40 years ago that I was flying four hours a day, and getting hosed four hours a day. Forty years since I may have been responsible for one GI's death, and forty years since I was definitely responsible for saving more than a hundred GIs. Neither has ever been far from my mind, and never more so than on this anniversary year.

Crisp salute to all who fought with me.

I can identify with your comments in general. We do the best that we can, when we can.

Thanks to you and the many other eyes in the sky. You saved our AZZEZ many times. You folks were like Michael, the Archangel when in the sky looking over us. [^]

A salute to you and a "Good day to you", Rocky. Its good seeing you. [:)]

We all had a job to do! Thanks to all who did that job and did it well. But remember ALL OF US were in support of the BOOTS ON THE GROUND![^]

I was in the Dallas/Ft. Worth airport yesterday chatting with a young Army Major. I wanted to thank him for his service to the country. I mentioned I served in the Army in Vietnam and he thanked me for my service also...... That was nice to hear. That sort of respect was non-exhistent 42 years ago when I came home.

I came home in April of '66. 45 years this year. Hard to believe. Hard to forget.

In 6 minutes, it will be 41 years to the day that I climbed on the freedom bird. Welcome home everyone. Flapjack.
