Tribute to CW2 Billy J. Waymire from his son: Killed in the crash of his CH-47A tail number 63-07910.
I remember him as a tall dark haired man. His smile, the way he carried me, the way he laughed. I remember him from Germany when he had hurt his back, and when he laughed at me when I learned to ice skate. Mostly I remember missing him and knowing that I will always love him.

Kenneth Waymire - His son.

Good morning, BillieBlue!

Cool thread for today. Light and airy.

This should be a lot of fun, and you really did your homework. LOL

"Looks like God's back in town."

Wow, I remember that feeling. It was about the time attorney Ginsberg left town, too. I wonder if any post-Monica fools ever let that attorney practice law on them.

So many, so young . . .

My favorite old thread title was back in August or September, 1998: "The ANUS of the POTUS", which referred to a couple of footnotes in the just-released Starr Report.

Goodmorning Billie. Way way too funny today, although at the time these posts were written I remember these were almost desperate attempts to laugh because we all were so outraged. In retrospect, now that we have honest decent people in charge, I'm laughing away and all that long ago anger is but a blur!!! Have a great day!

Cute opening post! Thanks for the trip down Memory Lane, I didn't find FR until Nov. 2000 so it's fun to have a peak at some of the Posts that were made during the Clinton Impeachment days. :)

After terrorist attacks at the Pentagon and World Trade Center, an unidentified bugler plays taps outside Washington's Union station as the station opened for limited service.

Never forget our fallen ones.

Good morning Billie. It's a bit nippy in Southeastern Pennsylvana, but the sun is shining, the birds are singing and Dubya is our President. It is a good day.

[lodwick]

Salute your shipmates - thanks for stopping in today.

Good morning to you! Nice day here in KC.
