Evening, Kathy! (Or rather, good morning.)

[Argh]

Happy birthday USAF!!!
I’ve taken to watching only old movies over the last few years and was surprised to learn from watching them that the song USED to end “Nothing can beat the Army Air Corps”, but I guess it figured.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Argh...good to see you.

The United States Air Force (USAF) is the aerial warfare service branch of the United States Armed Forces and one of the American uniformed services. Initially part of the United States Army, the USAF was formed as a separate branch of the military on September 18, 1947 under the National Security Act of 1947. It is the most recent branch of the U.S. military to be formed, as well as the world’s most technologically sophisticated air force.

The predecessor organizations in the Army of today’s Air Force are:

Aeronautical Division, Signal Corps August 1, 1907–July 18, 1914

Aviation Section, Signal Corps July 18, 1914–May 20, 1918

Division of Military Aeronautics (May 20, 1918 to May 24, 1918)

U.S. Army Air Service (May 24, 1918 to July 2, 1926)

U.S. Army Air Corps (July 2, 1926 to June 20, 1941)

U.S. Army Air Forces (June 20, 1941 to September 18, 1947)

Thank you, Miss Kathy!

[Kathy in Alaska]

She had something done to her throat/windpipe on Monday.

Back to work on Wednesday and she brought, and used, her oxygen all day.

As she walked to the front to leave she told one of the IT guys he needed to call 911...she knew she was in trouble and couldn’t make it home (thank you God for making her see that). She would have been alone at home.

This evening she is still sedated, but the nurse said they had her on her feet just a bit earlier today, and she had a bronciosomething.

Sunday I will go see her early afternoon and maybe she will be less sedated. Yesterday she wiggled her finger when I held her hand and talked to her.

I’m hoping that they figure out the breathing issue too. Thank you so much for the prayers.

My folks are doing pretty well. We put in a second hand rail on the last 5 steps down. My Mom isn’t ready to go to more stairlift. My Dad is still driving, but only in a small area with not too much traffic. We are fortunate that the credit union, library, and his grocery store of choice are in that “square”.

Very cool about the accolades...always nice to be appreciated and acknowledged. Good job!!

Heartfelt wishes and prayers for the U.S. Air Force! Remembrance of those I love who have passed that served and those who serve today. Prayers going up!
