For a great novelized recounting of the Berlin Airlift read Leon Uris’ ARMAGEDDON. Fantastic read….

[rktman]

Thanks. I’ve already told my tale. Happy new year.

Howdy, Kathy.

Nice to see a pretty day up there, even though it’s a cold, windy one. One of us had some sunshine today. LOL

[radu]

Howdy, PRO!

Did you have a nice Christmas? Spend some time with Robin, your son, and those adorable pups?

My Dad, rest his soul, was part of the Berlin Airlift. He very, very rarely spoke about his time serving, other than I now know he suffered from Survivor’s Guilt. Totally a Silent Generation guy, caught between wars.

Good evening, Golden Eagle...beautiful display.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, radu...great picture. Our military hard at work on making the airlift work for the people...

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Rummyfan...thanks for the information.

[Kathy in Alaska]

And a Happy New Year to you as well.

Thankfully not too windy here. Wasilla has high wind warnings again.

Hiya radu, I had fun with daughter and her hubby on Friday, took them out for breakfast and then went back to Robin's and watched an old DVD that I had converted from VCR tape of daughter from 1990 when she was a baby and older, lots of fun and laughs.

Son was working so I'm going to hang out with him this week as he has 3 days off.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, FamiliarFace, and we thank your Dad for his service to our country, and his participation in the Berlin Airlift.
