My usual setup.
Sweet dreams Dan-o, catching some zee's holding the oh so soft
Mermite can.
Saving Pvt. Ryan's T-34 Tiger...
Abbott and Costello entertain the troops.
The view from my tent, home for 3 nights.
My sister Rita came in to enjoy the show and spend some time with Johnnie.
and pay our respects for those left behind...
One kicking display...great job fellas!
Bagpipers led the Aussies... and the nurses healed "Sgt Wilson"
What a great display and special commitment to our
hobby. Outstanding!
My effort...their sacrifice...

My Favorite... Uncle Johnnie
Johnnie always seems to attract the prettiest girls.
(It's really the only reason why I hang with him.)
Once again, Johnnie keeping the Japs at bay...
and helping out the Philippino 37mm gun crew...
Thanks Patrick for another ride in your jeep...and the
ice cream!
Meeting Don Malarkey from Easy Company... Thank you Don!
No Gut's No Glory is fitting...
My sister who has beaten cancer and John, who has beaten the odds...now
at 88!...
The President arrives with First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt,
General MacAuthur, and JFK.
John is honored and congratulated by General MacAuthur first....
...then by the President, FDR!
As the motorcade leaves the field, the First Lady winks at Johnnie...
John's nervous around the Gunny. Hell, who ain't?
A review of the troops, and patting an old friend on the back...
The birds take flight!
First, the fighters!
My best shot of the air part of the show....
Strawberry 5... or was it 9?
