My Grandson & and group of Marines are at Little Rock AFB training on C-130's. He might get time off this weekend, been trying to get him into Ham Radio. Maybe this? He just re-enlisted, he sees what I have after 20 years in USAF!
My answer to this is "Pray for the Active Duty, it's their turn and only God knows what will happen!" I did a tour in Panama near the canal, 2 years at Howard AB. While in Spain I learned we were invading them? We gave them back the ditch that WE DUG! (President Theodore Rosevelt) Then under President Nixon we saved Israel in Oct 1973. The airlift was called "Operation Nickel Grass" material no longer needed for Vietnam went there. Every 4 years a new Commander in Chief, at least all of mine were fellow Veterans!!
