I only spoke to him on occasion, but he had an interesting life, CBI did not get a lot of ballyhoo

Cool “WooHoo”. Thanks.
I didn’t even notice I fell into it. Been watching a bodacious “light show” in OK. Have to settle for watching them online since we aren’t getting any rain or storms here.

My Grandad was a Army cook on the Ledo Rd.

Salute to your Pappy

Is that a recent pic? I hope so. I’ve wondered if that piece survived the big quake last year but was afraid to ask.
It was such an honor to make that for him.

I love the guys that served under Vinegar Joe

They fought as hard as anyone. They where perhaps a bit surreptitious.

There was a parade today and it pissed me off LOL blocked the whole damn road!

Not sure what the V has going on, but it will be a prayer at the minimum.

It was a little crowded in the parking lot but once we got past the gate. I was able to let him wheel and deal. There was a couple with two bulldogs though so had to put him back on a leash.

Yes, there were Tornado Warnings in the Oklahoma City area last night. The storm alarm did go off numerous times but the storms were all to our North. Rather wild night of weather it was.

Usually these moments at the VFW are very solemn, standing on ceremony.

You basically have to be a member to get the sombrence of it.

I did. It was a Christmas present from Kathy one year. I was tickled to death when she asked if I could make it. Such an honor.

Not a recent picture, but it never moved from its place at that picture window.

He loved it, and so do I. Thanks again.

At least he got to run for a bit and burn off a little steam.

El Reno, OK got slammed hard overnight and the Tulsa area was hit a little while ago. Those storms are heading into AR and MO now and there’s one tornado warning in AR at the moment.
I was watching one of the “light shows” earlier via a storm chaser. There were some fabulous lightning streaks across the sky.

Fleet Week in NYC, with lots of people going to see the ships in the great weather, sailors in their immaculate whites walking around all over Midtown.

VERY glad it survived all the shaking.

And glad your dad liked it so much, as well as you. That was my goal. :-)
