Final Approach
I intend to write up more about this day over on WIX later, but this was simply a wonderful, though somber day.
A few pictures from the Pearl Harbor commemoration in Fredericksburg, TX today.
A handful of survivors amidst a grateful and significant, but small (considering how many people COULD have come) crowd.
I wonder if the children in this fellow's community appreciate him the way I do...
And I'm actually amazed at the vigor this 1.1 Gunners Mate on the West Virgina still has. Oh that when I'm in my 80s... God willing, I will be as strong.
That's it folks... that's ALL of the survivors that were able to attend the ceremony in the Peace Garden at the Nimitz...
It's quite sad actually. I was at the 60th anniversary event, and it was THOUSANDS of people filling the street in front of the Nimitz, with a former US President speaking. I'd say this one might have hit a thousand, but more likely in the 700-900 range.
I've got more pictures, but here's a pilot I know flying his T-28 in honor of the veterans.
