Ok I admit, I cannot think of a good enough title for this post. Call it a off day. BUT, what I am not out of is stories of things going on these Veterans day. The first one I want to start out with is the airing of the reunion<\/a> that I talked about a few days ago in San Antonio. They did OK with it given that the spot was less then two minutes<\/a>. But I wanted to again thank this website for helping this meeting to take place. Also because this website was not credited as being the main reason that my family was able to connect with his. <\/p>\n

Speaking of reunion it seems that there was a similar story<\/a> where a Soldier from the 101st was able to talk to a long lost love from 1944. It is a nice story, just ignore the fact that they used footage of US Marines ambitious landing at a unidentified location in the Pacific when they were talking about Operation Overlord. <\/p>\n

Next we have retired military pilot Retired Air Force Col. William “Goldie” Goldfein who was given another chance to fly <\/a>by a group called the Ageless Aviation Dreams Foundation<\/a>. Just a few things from this story shows what amazing person he is. <\/p>\n

While he was flying, Anderson recalled one trip that required a lot of skill.<\/p>\n

“I had a dead stick landing when I was over Germany,” Anderson recalled. “Smoke coming from under the instrument panel, that makes it exciting. Fortunately the good Lord was looking over your shoulder and we had good training.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I am not sure if I would have used the word exciting in that context. <\/p>\n

And a completely random thought, Stinson Airfield, the location of this event has a nice aviation museum<\/a> that is worth a look. <\/p>\n

Lastly is a reminder on why we have this day<\/a>, to remember those who have served past and present. <\/p>\n

So the morale of these stories is remember the past and remember to tell it. Because it is the stories that we tell our children and grandchildren that could make our golden years just that more interesting. <\/p>\n
