BAAA. Getting a memorial didn't come easily.

Check out an FR thread from 2 years ago, Students Reject Honor to 'Baa Baa Black Sheep' Hero (Col. Greg "Pappy" Boyington).

Amen.

I do hope someone took those kids out "to the woodshed" and taught them the true history of this country ... not the revisionist history they were taught and spew out.

Met him(Col. Boyington)in Fullerton, CA at an airport event back in the 80's and got a couple of books signed. Nice guy. Great American.

Gotta love the F4U...what a beaut!
