Last night I was at Bell helicopter at the kick off dinner for the departure of America's Huey on it's way toD.C. M.Gen Brady (MOH) was there and we had talked a lot before the event and there he and I chatted. I gave him some army wings. he was one of the speakers along with Jug Burkett and M.G Stephenson and others..
Sam Johnson was one of the speakers. a man bent by the ravages of war and time
There were a lot of Generals, One sat at my table with a ot of really good folks and we were proud to have a MARINE General at our table.
The CEOs of Bell Hellicopter, American Airlines, Dynacorp, U.S Helicopters etc. A LOT of big wigs. I was recognized from the podium for the efforts put into this event. And the Gator patch will go in the bird to DC. Anyway It was a big wig night but I held my own. and I thought of you guys as all the stuff that went down back in the war. The bird is on it's way. and GOD HELP ANYONE WHO TRIES TO DERAIL IT. They don't have a clue as to the folks supporting this project.
