72 years old and never had a mission turned back by enemy opposition. Including when we were the US Army Air Forces in WWII. My service, my comrades, my honor to serve.
Happy Birthday little sister ... US Army Air Corp! As someone who had their butt saved one time by a couple 500lb'rs dropped exactly where they needed to be dropped ... I love me some USAF!
My father-in-law served in the Army Air Corps and was later in the USAF reserves. He always says not staying in the reserves was the biggest mistake he ever made. He doesn’t talk much about his service other than to tell anecdotes of the comical stuff. It was his time at what are now MacDill and Elgin AFBs that convinced him to move to Florida after the war.
