Thanks for yet another GREAT history lesson. My old man was in the AAF in WWII, and he was a mechanic and worked on these machines.
It made great reading while I'm sitting here digesting the BBQ chicken and fixings from the birthday party for one of our deployed troopers. Say "Happy Birthday" to A1C Ryan Malloy, who turned 28 today. You just know he's gonna be pissed that he missed the party/BBQ when his mom emails him later ... LOL
And now, I'm gonna snag a cold brew from your cooler and put my feet up on your desk. Thanks again for all your hard work.

April 25th marks the anniversary of the Fall of Saigon. The Traveling Wall is in our area and Mrs d and I stopped by Sunday afternoon to pay our respects and honor those whose names are etched into those black panels.
Good morning, Snippy and everyone at the Foxhole.

And a fine B&W pic of B-29s returning to North Field on Guam.

Good morning.
The wording suggests that Moses had a speech impediment-perhaps he stuttered. But the Lord said to him, "Who has made man's mouth? Or who makes the mute, the deaf, the seeing, or the blind? Have not I, the Lord?" (v.11). Our impairments, our disabilities, our handicaps are not accidents; they are God-designed. He uses every one of our flaws for His own glory. God's way of dealing with what we call "limitations" is not to remove them but to endow them with strength and use them for good. In the New Testament, Paul the apostle referred to an unspecified "thorn in the flesh" that he repeatedly asked the Lord to take from him (2 Corinthians 12:7-8). But God said, "My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness" (v.9). Paul even learned to "take pleasure" in his troubles. "Most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me," he said (v.9). "For when I am weak, then I am strong" (v.10). -David Roper
Through weakness learn to trust His Word; They're not immune to pain or tears, But learn to rise above their fears. -D. De Haan God's strength is best seen in our weakness.

Morning Snippy.
Good Morning, Foxhole. Great war bird thread today.
LeMay clearly was the best man for the job but IMHO he wasn't simply battling complex logistical problems and headquarters staff in Washington. He was battling "engine overheating" and operational problems. On virtually every mission most of these aircraft had to abort due to engine problems.
Poststrike photos revealed that only one bomb landed near the target -- the steel mill was not even scratched. One B-29 was shot down by flak, and six more were lost in accidents. The mission was nevertheless hailed as a success by the American press -- Japan had been attacked.
I'm sorry . . . did that read "American press" called it a success? Must have been an anomaly.
Ms. Snip, you asked a VERY series question last night that I must NOT let go unanswered. YES! I played golf on Sat. much to my satisfaction. Yesterday, I attempted to do a network "printer share" between my laptop and desktop. If you felt tremers yesterday afternoon it was me going ballistic. Don't ever try to configure Win98SE with XPpro. Six hours of trouble shooting and I didn't accomplish a bloody thing. /venting.
I'm in, just been lurkin.

Moses, on the occasion of his call by God, made excuses. "O my Lord, I am not eloquent, neither before nor since You have spoken to Your servant; but I am slow of speech and slow of tongue" (Exodus 4:10).
