Hello all,
This weekend as you look at your collection think about how it got here. If you know a vet or see one this weekend say thank you.
On a personal note I would like to say thank you to my father Frank G. Bird a member of the greatest generation. He left high school at the age of 17 early in 1943 to join the navy. He was a radioman 1st. class on an attack transport in the pacific. His ship landed troops at the invasion of the philippines, Iwo Jima, Okinawa and the first troops to land at the Yokosuka Navel Base in Japan. He received 3 battle stars and his ship was credited with shooting down 1 Japanese plane.
Sadly he was taken to early by cancer in 2001. I think about him everyday but especially this weekend. So if you know a vet say thank you this weekend before its to late.
