Bless all those who have served, will serve and are serving our country as we speak so that we may be free to do pretty much whatever we want. I know many veterans and service men and women but the one I have thought about the most today is my grandfather who just pasted away. COL Joseph L. Price Jr was a fighter pilot in the Army Air Corps during WWII. During his 31 year, 7 months and one day career, he flew over 300 combat missions in WWII, Korea and Vietnam. I went to his funeral a few weeks ago and the Air Force honored him with a C-130 flyover.
The guy with in the top pic is my Dad who was also a fighter pilot in the Air force, he organized another fly-by of an AT-6 Advanced WWII Trainer which was the final aircraft my granddad flew to earn his wings in the Army Air Corps.
I have better pics but I can't get the scanned pictures to come up! So these will have to do for now.
We spent the better part of our weekend lounging at the pool and going to a couple different bar-b- q's we were invited to. Of course I forgot the camera but there will be plenty more pool days to come with this scorching Vegas heat! We also watched a few hours of war shows including band of brothers which Owen loved for some reason?!!
Hope you all had a great weekend!
God bless our troops!
