During the Vietnam War from 1962 to 1975, helicopter crews were able to locate their fellow Marines on the ground by asking them to "pop a smoke" in the landing zone. The brightly colored smoke grenade identified the ground unit and landing zone and provided wind information to the pilot. Today, we are reuniting those individuals on the ground with the individuals who flew as flight crew on those missions. We are asking them to Pop A Smoke so that we can find each other.

Sybil Ludington Women's Freedom Award

On the night of April 26, 1777, a wounded messenger barely reaches the home of New York militia officer Henry Ludington with desperate news of a British attack on nearby Danbury, Connecticut. Munitions and supplies for the entire region's militia were at stake, and with not a moment to spare, Colonel Ludington turned to his 16-year old daughter, Sybil for help. While he organized the local militia, Sybil mounted her horse and galloped through the night to rally troops in the surrounding countryside. Trekking on dirt roads that were unknown to her, Sybil never lost sight of her mission -- to alert the patriots about the British attack, thereby preserving the cause of freedom. By risking her life that dark and desolate night, Sybil made a profound difference in America's successful pursuit to become a free and independent nation. For her act of courage, General Washington and General Rochambeau personally thanked her. Now to honor her accomplishment and the accomplishments of modern heroines, the National Rifle Association bestows the prestigious Sybil Ludington Women's Freedom Award in her name.

Good morning, FRiends. Hope that all of you have a great day. Nice and 'cool' today - Fall is definitely in the air.

Auntbee, I did see your hello to me yesterday - just seems I hardly have time to get away from here to respond on other threads. :)

[Billie]

OMG, Meek - he MUST be stopped! He has got to be stopped!

[Billie]

Oh, what a glorious sunrise!

Jeff ~~~ I don't know of anyone more deserving of this honor and recognition (except for JimRob himself). Your dedication and your patriotism are a wonderful inspiration to us all.

Thank you for all that you do!
