Good Morning all!

A bright sunny, albeit cold day today, and we still have no snow here in central Wisconsin.

It doesn't seem possible that Christmas is only a few weeks away.

I just want to thank all those who contributed to the tributes to Pearl Harbor yesteray. It has always been important to me to remember these gallant men, for I fear should we ever forget, we will lose our identity, and with that our Freedom!

Kathy... I was stationed up in the Aleautian Islands back in the 70's. (Shemya AFB... second to last island on the chain.) We were there to keep an eye on the Soviets, and make sure they didn't invade our air space.

I loved Alaska, but unfortunately didn't get to see more of it. I did spend some time in Anchorage, proccessing through Elmendorf. The F4's would wake me up every morning, as my TDY barracks wasn't far from the flight line. (I loved it though...)

Glad to see you safely home!
