Yet another sharp, snappy salute to the Berlin Airlift heroes and especially to the “Cholcolate Pilot”!

Good evening, ML...((HUGS)...any lessons today?

A chance for a ride?

I think I gave you incorrect information before. my father IL was part of the airlift but he actually delivered mail several weeks before the official lift.
My husband said he would check the log books, but remembers hearing stories about a guy who tied chocolate bars to handkerchiefs and dropped them out of the airplanes before they landed.
Oh, a silly part was that my mother IL went into labor early with my husband and my father IL heard about it on his radio, so because he was flying a Douglas air craft they named him Douglas (really glad he wasn’t flying a Boeing)

Good evening, spel....fascinating piece of history.

Thanks, Nana Hope, for today's Pledge…((HUGS)). Thanks, AfghanMan and Penguin Girl, for your service to America.

Good evening, alfa...((HUGS))....what a great story! Those that never help laugh at the United States, who always is there to help. *sad commentary*

Merry Christmas to you and yours.

Hey alfa! Great to see you - it's been ages! How have you been lately?



Keep Faith with the Fallen of Benghazi! Let the Obama Regime, for once, tell the Truth!

Fiat Justitia, Ruat Coelum!

Must retire – the 0500 Reveille approaches relentlessly.

The Bugler, his grim visage replete with an evil sneer, already mounts the parapet.

Do poor Tom some charity, whom the foul fiend vexes!



All Gave Some – Some Gave All!!!

Good night, God bless you, and God bless the United States of America!

Godspeed our Troops around the Globe – especially those in harm’s way – by virtue of their service and sacrifice we continue to live in Freedom!

Thanks for the article. My dad was in on this while stationed in Germany.

Good evening, Mayor, and thanks for today’s sustenance for body and soul.

Hope you had a relaxing weekend.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Mac...*HUGS*...did you marshal all your forces and get your tree finished?

Hope you had some good rest today.

We got several things crossed off the “to do” list and I finished getting my mailings ready. I will take them to work and mail them. I seem to be doing better on “timing” than last year. d:o)

[Kathy in Alaska]

Hmmm...it would not be much fun growing up and having to explain to EVERYONE why your name was Boeing.

That Candy Bomber would be Gail Halvorsen, "Uncle Wiggly Wings".

Aloha, Hawaii...((HUGS))...any sun for you yet? Is your winter usually without much sun?

We got about a foot of snow and are now back to cold...it is -2 right now. The next week’s high is maybe 15.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Deacon....I love the picture on the cover. Thanks.

[Kathy in Alaska]

I bet Linda was a vision of loveliness.

What a “sweet” story told here, Galz! Thanks for sharing it! :)

[Kathy in Alaska]

God Bless you good, Mac. Good night and rest well. Thanks for helping honor our troops, past and present.
Thank you for your service to our country.

Howdy, Alfa! Thanks for sharing that with us! :)
