Veterans Day
 

Lots of doings here in DC for the weekend. Of particular interest to Gene is this:

"Vietnam-era helicopters arrived and were installed on the grounds of the National Archives in time for Friday's opening of the new Remembering Vietnam exhibit.

The helicopters, provided by the North Carolina Vietnam Helicopter Pilots Association, arrived after dark November 6, and were offloaded with cranes and moved onto the lawn, where they will remain through opening weekend. The public is invited to tour the aircraft and speak to members of the association who were all pilots of these types of aircraft during the war."

The display includes the Bell AH-1 Cobra, Bell UH-1 Iroquois and Bell OH-58 Kiowa.

Enjoy the choppers!

Tip of cap, to all the Vets! :)

Too bad they couldn't fly them in! Thanks for this info, Deb, though I can't make it to DC this weekend.

Remembering all the Vets and thanking them for their service. Without their sacrifices we would not be enjoying the wonderful opportunities we have in this country. :thumbup:

Thanks for that link, Glenn. Interesting to note that there are several stores that offer veteran's discounts year-round: Lowes for instance. You do have to sign up and be verified, however.

My best to all my fellow veterans!

If I ever remembered to use Lowes vet discount, pinch me because I got my memory back. :LOL:

Dave you just have to register online and every time you use your Lowe's card, even for online purchases, it gives you the 10% discount. It only takes about 10 seconds for them to verify that you are a vet.

I miss my Dad, he was a WWII vet for the Canadian 8th Army.
