They were also Korea and WWII Vets. My father, with three tours in country is a good example. His skills were C-130 related, so he went to Tan Son Nhut Air Base near Saigon in the sixties. However, in 1944, he was stationed at a B-17 base in Southeastern England. When my father passed away, he had been retired from the USAF for thirty years after serving thirty years and in three wars. -- Regards, Sonny http://sonc.com/look/ http://sonc-hegr.tumblr.com/ Natchitoches, Louisiana USA
