Two are local and one is out of town at Olympia. One company uses a Cessna Citation and the others twin turboprop. Fun stuff.

GOD BLESS AND PROTECT OUR TROOPS AND OUR BELOVED NATION!



The Star Spangled Banner – Verse Four
(Click)


Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved home and the war's desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heav'n rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust."
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

Please let me know by Freepmail if you would like
to be admitted to or released from my music ping list







Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

Thank You, Kathy.

Have two appointments next Monday at Palo Alto VA Center. We have a VA Clinic here at home but referrals are sent to Palo Alto. It’s a two hour drive but VA Hospital in Palo Alto are able to create greater information for us.

ALS is currently able to find and provide greater results at Palo Alto than here in our local VA Clinic.

Got more appointments next month.
