<DIV>My grandpa served in World War 2. He was in the Navy and had a Tour in
Italy then drove landings on (sorry my bro and I can't remember) which beach for
D day. It's amazing the stories he remembers out of no where. And they're always
new ones. So very awesome!</DIV>

<DIV>My aunt was a ferry pilot for the B52 bombers and other planes during
WWII and my uncle was a mule skinner in Italy. Another uncle was on 3
different ships that went down in the Pacific. My dad was not allowed to
join because his expertise put him in the signal corp which was civilian at
that time. He could even tell Generals what to do when he was sent to
trouble shoot on bases around the country. I always thought that they
all had a great deal to do with helping win the war.</DIV>

<DIV class=RTE>Personally I think we have hashed the salvation thing
enough. We all have our ideas. I have read with some interest
some of the ideas that I hadn't thought about along these lines.
</DIV>
<DIV class=RTE>I would like to propose a new subject to discuss.
The other day I was painting a lady's house as one of my business
jobs. In talking to her husband I found that in WWII he flew on B24
bombers our of England. Since he was assigned to a Brittish air force
unit they did not 'rotate' out after 25 missions. He flew 79 missions
over Germany! </DIV>
<DIV class=RTE>After the war (he was the radioman on the bombers) he
was assigned to what became known as Air Force One as a radioman. He
flew with President's Truman, Eisenhower, Kenedy, Johnson, and Nixon.
He said Truman was the most congenial. He would stop and visit with
the regular Joe at the drop of a hat. He hated being in the spotlight
but he meant it when he said, "The buck stops here!"</DIV>
<DIV class=RTE>Eisenhower was the greatest at getting the most out of a
person. He could get people to always do their best. He was also
extremely organized. </DIV>
<DIV class=RTE>Kenedy he said was somewhat of a playboy. Jackie was
really nice.</DIV>
<DIV class=RTE>Johnson was as egotistical ___! He actually had his
chairs elevated so everyone had to look up to him (and he could look down on
everyone.) He was quite rude and bulled his way through things.</DIV>
<DIV class=RTE>Nixon was V.P. when he flew with him on a good-will tour to
South America. He thought they were going to be kidnapped in
Venezuela, but, the Venezuelan army held the rebels off as they took off and
left. His wife told him after this trip that Nixon had a character
flaw that would undo him if he wasn't careful. We all know what
happened.</DIV>
<DIV class=RTE> </DIV>
<DIV class=RTE>Anyway, my idea is let's share stories of people we know that
have impressed us. I was very impressed with this man. What a
life that would be!</DIV>
<DIV class=RTE>Frank</DIV>
<DIV class=RTE>p.s. You could tell about more than one person if you
would like. It could also maybe be great things we have done or
been involved in. Let's make it positive though.</DIV>
<DIV class=RTE>Thanks. If you have any other ideas they are
welcome.</DIV>
