Years ago I went to an air show that came here. As I walked around a B 17, I paused by the duel tail guns. Of a sudden, in my minds eye I felt the guy laying there seeing Faulk Wulf 190s coming at him with their noses twinkling at him. All he had between himself and the tracers curving toward him, his aircraft, his nation and free people everywhere were those 2 brownings. (incidentally invented by the the returned missionary John Browning who I also am grateful for.)
Viet Nam and these terrorists wars are controversial but it isn't the kids fault. As far as I can tell it was the politicians doing. Frankly, I'd be in favor of giving the vets most of the politicians salaries and retirement money.
To the living and dead who served, thank you, thank you, thank you! Of course this includes any of you guys who served.
As I felt a small amount of what the tail gunner felt, I was grateful but it just seemed to fall short. Then I thought if I am ever able to fully thank the Savior for His sacrifice I'll be able to thank those who gave their all for us. Until then I'll do my best to honor them and do what I am able to serve others.Statistics: Posted by nuk13 — Tue Nov 11, 2014 11:02 am
