Just enough armor to keep the snipers from picking off the gunners.

Morning Sam and everyone!
The peaceniks make me sick, they have no understanding what this war is about. I have a message for them…

My husband's family lived down the block from Pappy and his wife in Fresno, CA.

Present.
Had some weather here last night.
Lightning and heavy rain.
(The bolts themselves were blue, with a few that were yellowish. Odd, but pretty. Not sure what causes the effect.)

Great tribute to a hero, thanks!
To: SAMWolf; All
This is 214's squadron patch as it is today. (unless it's recently changed.) Today, VMA-214 (Marine Attack Squadron) is one of four AV-8B Harrier squadrons assigned to Marine Aircraft Group(MAG)-13, 3rd Marine Air Wing. Its mission is to provide close-air support, conduct armed reconnaissance and limited air-defense for Marine expeditionary forces.
The Blacksheep retired the A-4 Skyhawk in 1990 ( I believe) and formed the first night attack squadron, with the AV-8B Night Attack Harrier, marking another milestone for this world-famous squadron.
The squadron completed the first overseas deployment of the Night Attack Harrier to Iwakuni, Japan, in 1992. It was insane fun; it was wild. 214 has never been the same since! I know...dh was there. :)
