    Great, Ray. I'm glad that you found us. I was at Loring AFB from August '86 to end of June '88 when I retired. Wifey was working in the command post there when I retired. She got to join me in April '87 and I immediately went to England for about 3 weeks or so... breaking up our second honeymoon!

    My Dad was in the South Pacific... B24 mechanic. I was born 9 months after he got back at the end of the war.

    I was looking for info about my son Patrick and ran across a historic picture of my dad.

    This B25 was used in the Memphis Belle and many other movies.

        Thanks. When I found the picture of the plane, I Googled the name and found that site... along with a lower resolution picture there.

        It's amazing what you can "find" sometimes!

          First post on the forum. Just joined about 30 minutes ago. Saw this section and thought it was the most fitting place to start out.
          I spent 30 years, 3 months and 10 days in the United States Marine Corps, and retired on 1 April 2008 (April Fool's Day, go figure). I cannot honestly say that I loved every minute of it but it was one hell of a ride. Started as an AMTRACr, finished as a logisitician, participated in Operation Desert Shield/Storm, the invasion of Iraq in 2003, and went back for a second tour for a year in 2005-06. Tours at Pendleton, Okinawa, Quantico and Lejeune with deployments to Norway, Korea, the Philippines and the Med in between. Now I live at the beach and serve as the Mayor Pro-Tem of my tiny NC beach town.
          Semper Fi,
          Tom

              Do we address you as your honor or your mayorship, or what. I don't want to be disrespectful.

              We got a few Marines amongst us and that's a good thing.

                    Tom works just fine.

                    And thanks everyone for the warm welcome!
