Ken & Angie Ihle are a couple of the finest folks I have ever had the pleasure to meet. I was greeted and treated as family at their homestead. The Brotherhood didn't seem to mind that a Vietnam Veteran from another unit was in attendance.

It began rainy, the jump had to be post phoned twice because of the weather. Then on Friday the Sun appeared and a light breeze followed to perfectly compliment the Honor Jump.

|
We spent the day on the tarmac of the Crossville airport. We were old and new friends visiting and taking photos and getting sunburned. Next year wear suntan lotion and a hat.
|
|
The Cobra Camp/Lake didn't lack anything. Three meals per day and lots of fine folk. Complete with an authentic Hillbilly Shooting Range (I can say that because I am one).
|
|
The Memorial service on Saturday afternoon was better than I have ever witnessed. The Honor Roll Call brought tears to every eye.
|
|
There are many reasons why you can't attend reunions, I suggest you put this one on your calendar for next year and REALLY ENJOY A FELLOWSHIP WITH VETERANS OF THE VIET NAM WAR.

You will never regret it and never forget it! Airborne!
