Hi, David - I'm glad you got here - pinged you of course when I posted it on Nov. 11th. However I think Self Search only goes back a couple of days, so if you missed it then and haven't been on FR, you wouldn't know about it. Jim Rob does have a link to it on the main page, though, and of course we have a link on the Daily Canteen threads.

[Billie]

Adding your group picture to the thread......Thank you all for your service.

[Billie]

Thank you, WhiteKnight, for your Air Force bump! If you have a photo, I'd love to have it and include in the next group. I keep collecting them and add another group whenever I get enough (10 or so). Have a wonderful Christmas holiday.

[Billie]

Yes, please do, GussiedUp. I must have missed this post earlier, Gracey!
