My best friend and "brother" Maj Gerald Bloomfield USMC was the pilot of this bird........... his services are being planned by the rest of the family - Arlington will be his destination. He "gave em some" repeatedly and with great fervor and frequency since this 4th tour began in Aug.
Our prayers go out to family of "The Beav"s co-pilot as well as to the family of the LT who was KIA enroute to the crash site.......................
It sounds as if there was a rather long line awaiting the "virgins" after all was said and done.
