This is the real deal.
What the heck do any of these guys know about Community Organizing? [/sarcasm]
Forget Steve Ritchie, I would just like to meet his wife.
Oh, I just realized she would be over 60 now.
I can’t believe the ages of these men.
Seems you have it fixed in your mind how young they were and that’s all you can see them as.
Steve Richie..Ritchie left active service in 1974 and had a distinguished career in the Air Force Reserve before retiring in 1999. With more than 3,000 flight hours, 800 combat hours, and decorations that include four Silver Stars and 10 Distinguished Flying Crosses, Ritchie is a role model and exemplar of what he would call his three Ds — “duty, desire, and determination.”
Definitely a conspiracy in the making................sheesh!
**In many ways, it may be their swan song. Armstrong is 78, Lovell 81, and Cernan 75. They saw this as their one last chance to give back to the this generation of the military men and women protecting America from terrorists. Stop and think about it. These four men could be anywhere, living well, but they chose to be in the desert, with the young men and women currently defending America. But someone weenie is Washington is now prohibiting it. **
This is outrageous that Obama will not let them go.
Obama is the one who needs to go bye-bye.
These gentlemen are our heroes and would provide a huge morale boost to our troops.
Bump to the top for these heroes !
Sucks but Qatar ain’t that bad since it’s a transit point for both theaters. There’ll be plenty of front line troops transiting there. Probably even more than what they’d see if they went to Victory and the IZ (Iraq) or Bagram and Khandahar (AFGN).
Wasn’t John Glenn a Democrat?
How did that happen?
Can someone *ping* me when there is an update ? I called WH. Also, sent this story out to everyone I knew.
Thanks.
