A PRAYER OF PROTECTION

The light of God surround you
The love of God enfold you
The power of God protect you
The presence of God watch over you
Wherever you are, God is,
And all is well.
Amen.

BLESS THIS HOUSE
 Bless this house O Lord we pray; Make it safe by night and day; 
Bless these walls so firm and stout, Keeping want and trouble out:
Bless the roof and chimneys tall, Let thy peace lie over all;
Bless this door, that it may prove ever open to joy and love.
Bless these windows shining bright, Letting in God's heav'nly light;
Bless the hearth a'blazing there, with smoke ascending like a prayer;
Bless the folk who dwell within, keep them pure and free from sin;
Bless us all that we may be Fit O Lord to dwell with thee;
Bless us all that one day we May dwell O Lord with thee.

Davis-Monthan AFB entered the "Jet Age" in 1953 when the 43rd and 303rd Bomb Wings converted to B-47 Stratojet bombers and T-33 jet trainers. In preparation, the Air Force built a 200' x 11,500' runway. By March 1953, the first of dozens of jet aircraft were delivered to D-M. These aircraft filled the Tucson skies through 1970.

D-M, pretty much home port for U-2s back in those days.

From txradioguy..........

Before I forget...before today is over...I want to thank my friends here at CC for their support for the military...not just for me...not just on an individual level...but what you do for all of us..you guys help me in some small part to keep my faith in the goodness of man.

My faith in people gets tested at times...but then something happens like what happened on Thursday...a teen aged kid...probably about the age of my oldest boy...doesn’t know me from Adam...stops me while we’re doing flags in...and thanks me...says we’re his heroes.

Wow

‘’Tell them of us and say, For their tomorrows, We gave our today.”

God bless all of you on this Memorial Day.

When I saw the “flags in” on the Pentagon Channel, I suspected it might be The Old Guard. Thanks to all of you for being there for all us.

Thank God and his parents for teaching that young man that you ARE, and SHOULD BE, his heroes!!

Good evening to you knews_hound, thank you for stopping in!

So happy that you have some fond memories of your Father at D-M.

I was close by there a couple of weeks ago, and sure wanted to make a side trip there!

Did ya have a nice day today?

Pretty good.

I missed a flyover by a few seconds.
I heard them from my kitchen, but by the time I got outside they were long gone.
My wife said, "Told you there's always a flyover on Memorial Day."

There's usually something at Coney Island on the Fourth of July around noontime. But this was just after 6:30. My guess is that they were heading toward Yankee or Shea Stadium.
