Good point.

I remember when Clinton did that. Its one of the few things he did right.

If the truth be known, we've lost quite a few crews to lightning, bad weather, mechanical failures, etc. etc.

Funny how only pri 1 squadrons run into those problems.

As I said, I was at NSA the day those men were finally honored. There was not an empty seat in the place nor a dry eye.

Sadly, several of the men had no families there to see them finally honored. Some of the younger military and NSA staff had no idea of what those men had done, paid the full price and then forgotten with the stroke of a pen.

That is the nature of the business.

Bush made me sick when he gave medals to those people. Damned cowards.
