Lovely collection,

A very nice group from a brave airman.
I especially like the citation for the Oak Leaf Cluster !

Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
Courage the greater as our strength faileth.
Here lies our leader ,in the dust of his greatness.
Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader
House Carles at the Battle of Hastings
Thanks guys for the nice compliments. Regards, Hal
