Me, not posing but doing my daily work in the burn pit at FOB Ramadi during Operation Iraqi Freedom. It's hard not to "get political" today when Dumpy's plans for veterans involved privatized clinics for VA health, which will remove access to healthcare for veterans, especially vets in rural areas.
We call it Rememverance Sunday, have a big march past of veterans at the cenotaph in Whitehall, Red Arrows and all that. It' great what put Great Grandfather's and Grandfather's did for us. It's agony what has happened to the world now.
That's a Martin B-57B; looks like he may have been at either Bien Hoa or Da Nang in Vietnam based on the camouflage and the blast walls around the hardstand.
I'll have to take your word for it, but certainly fits the timeframe. He went down in the Great Salt Lake in the 70s in a Martin Canberra(?), if memory serves.
My dad would have been 102 today. He served in both the Atlantic and Pacific campaigns during WW2.
He was also awarded the Meritorious Facial Hair commendation with oak clusters
