A Day That will Live in Infamy

[juliemac57 at hotmail.com (Julie Macfarlane)]

I saw an older man in a gas station years ago. I didn't recognise the patch 
on his base ball cap.
He flew with the Flying Tigers in China. We must have stayed in the station 
for an hour.

His stories and others lead me to respect ANYONE who has served or is 
serving.
