My Great-grandfather was born in the year 1868, when Custer made his raid on the Washita. He lived long enough to see the B-52 go into service. I still remember him well.

I was trained, in the USAF, to work on B-52s and KC-135s.

My Grandpa McDuffie was born that same year. His Father was a Confederate vet. There was a Confederate veteran from Crestview, FL who lived long enough to be photographed wearing a pilot helmet beside a jet fighter. The pilot was standing beside him.
