What a day here in NJ... after a week of gloomy gray skys, the sun is finally out, the sky is clear. A good day for an early start.

Makes me wonder what Marty, Robert, Billie and Eddie were thinking on this morning 35 years ago as they saddled up for their sniffer mission. Taking care of pre flight stuff, checking weapons, getting the sniffer setup... Making sure there were plenty of cigarettes.... It was going to be another day, not their last day, but another day...

A lot of soldiers in Vietnam lived their last day on Nov. 21st, 1968. I can only hope for them and their families that they had friends as good as the ones that Gator 297 had. This crew will never be forgotten, for the people and friends that they were and the price they paid.

A great day here in NJ, for remembering.
