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.

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.
