Salute!
About to move on to my other blogs, and then the preceding.... and I throw the "not quite so accurate flag". Nothing against the major, but scant details about the scenario and completely incorrect stat about the number of decorations.
Far, far more Silver Stars since 1947. My own class from the trade school has over 100. My C-flight from 'nam has
5 or 6 amongst us( all of us had two or more tours). Oh well.
Gums sends...
P.S. I was honored to fly Arnie's wing, my flight commander and best jet pilot I ever flew with. See:
