July 11, 201213 yr Read some shit on the ol' interwebs about the Aleutian campaign when you get a chance. Japanese on our soil, and no one remembers it. Hell, they still find UXOs near Shemya. Think about THAT on your next PACAF pond crossing. Also, Airwolf was cool. But that was back before I learned how slow helicopters actually are.
July 11, 201213 yr Not to hijack the thread, but since Mr. Borgnine is a WWII vet after all...this applies: Over 1,400 Americans gave their lives in the Aleutian Island Campaign: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aleutian_Islands_Campaign
July 11, 201213 yr ... was also the first person (and one of only roughly 70) to be named as an Honorary Blue Angel. FWIW, he was an Honorary Blue Angel Flight Lead, of which there have been just a few.
July 13, 201213 yr Author The Belgians haven't forgotten, either: Last Post played every night at the Menin Gate at Ypres. https://www.greatwar....st-ceremony.htm If you're ever anywhere near Mons around the August timeframe, definitely check out Tanks in Town! And the Menin Gate at Ypres is impressive, as are the battlefields in the area. Cheers! M2

August 26, 201213 yr I thought Masshole's lame MJ comment was worse than Vertigo's lame joke. Him, him.
August 26, 201213 yr You're a dipshit To NEIL Armstrong Godspeed to Neil. The most humble "great man" I've ever met. Chuck Yeager could have taken a few pointers.
August 26, 201213 yr I thought Masshole's lame MJ comment was worse than Vertigo's lame joke. Definitely, and unless she's referring to Jordan flying over someone's head for a dunk, I've never seen him moonwalk.
August 26, 201213 yr Definitely, and unless she's referring to Jordan flying over someone's head for a dunk, I've never seen him moonwalk. She probably means Micheal Jackson, hence the moon walking reference. Uncalled for naming that POS in the same sentence as Neil Armstrong though. Don't know how to put the salute and beers avitar in my post, but consider it done.
August 26, 201213 yr More than a great pilot, more than a great astronaut, more than a great American, he was a great Man. Him Him!
