Just passing Thru,
Wow a Russian Calvryman how cool! What stories he must have! Your point on the age, race, etc of veterans was great! I am just kind of partial to WWII veterans due to family and to the fact that soon they will all be gone! This in NO way diminishes the amazing heroism of those who fought in other conflicts. The women in the airline industry owe a tremendous debt of gratitude to the ladies who piloted the planes as ferry pilots. Piloting and a host of other duties previously performed by men were ably handled by the ladies of our great Country. And better than half the population doesn't even know these women existed. God bless what used to be the WAC's and WAVE's, and others. WAC Stood for Womens Army Corp. Anyone know what WAVE stood for or the Official name for the ferry pilots who flew the planes from the factories. Forgotten Heroes one and all
