With The FOIA you to not have to give your Social Security number.  Vietnam veterans information has not been released to fold3 the only way to get information on them is through this site. Is the research Vietnam vets the more information you have about the person the better but sometimes that’s not always an option. With this person‘s name, he should be the only one in the database.  It’s the only way that I can research Vietnam veterans.

Could you please help identify this parachute pull handle ? Thank you   Dominique 

. Birthdays . . . .    July 4th American Independence Day, July 5th my fathers birthday, July 6th friends wife's birthday. today July 7th Ringo Starr ( 85 )   During a telephone conversation with my daughter on the 5th I related it would have been her grandfathers 109th birthday had he still been alive.  Lauren replied that it was recently her mothers 60th birthday and sadly she was worried about her mothers health as she has developed Osteoporosis with two fractures of the spine and a broken rib without any accidents or falls.   Lauren also then said that she wasn't concerned about me as although I am older than her mother,  I still act fourteen . . . . . . . . . .    Norman D.

. Hi earlymb,   yes one of my local friends here often states his Jeep as being very ' green ' it was built ONCE eighty years ago and still on the road and running.  Without child labour having to mine rare metals in terrible conditions in various countries of the world to produce modern GREEN cars which won't last ten years and certainly the batteries don't, how many rare metals are left in the world for all the replacement batteries and parts in the coming years.  . . . . . . . .    Norman D.

As a pilot, definitely the B-25 is the loudest to be inside in flight. As a spectator, the T-37 at idle on the ground, has the most annoying, high pitched, loud squealing sound if ever heard. I’ve heard it was known as the “dog whistle” and the “converter”, because it converts fuel to noise. John

This post was from a long time ago, so i'm sure you've seen some more since, but here's a good few more now.

The uniform I got that sent me down the above photo sleuthing rabbit hole.

I realized the site's photo coppression completely obliterated them on this group photo. So I did some zoom-ins the best I could. 

Here my conversion 50-70 Sharps.  Did researches at my best and, accordingly this gun is just very short of the very last Model 1859 being made, before serial numbers switched to the Model 1863. Three-grove rifling, stock replaced who knows when, generic condition still good. Extraction system does work flawlessly.                        

One more group photo. Not sure who these guys are. But the guy on the far right clearly has it. There's one guy in the middle, I can't tell for sure.
