Re: New here and I have a story for you.
Welcome Joel,
Welcome, I'm sure you will enjoy this forum, members interests are varied and informative. Your story was very interesting. I've only been in an aircraft twice, a 5min trip in a little Cessna and one trip in an airliner. I enjoyed both but the small aircraft was definitely the best. I'm on the other side of the military scale as I'm an ex submariner.
Best regards,
navyman.

Re: New here and I have a story for you.
I named my first born son who is a little over a year old now after my great uncle. Jay Marcus Thomson was born May 3rd, 2012. My second son will be born probably in October of this year. Still no name for him yet.

I'm not sure if anyone is still following this but I found this thread while googling my grandfather, Jack W Coulter. He spoke very little about the war and did not want to burden people with his memories. But once I got him to tell me a little and he would get a far away look but you could tell he could see it clear as a bell in his mind. He would really only say that there were so many lives lost because they went in search of glory and didn't follow the rules. Stuff like "stay with your wingman" and the like. He would almost chant if only they had followed the rules with such sadness and frustration in his voice. It ate him up that he couldn't help or stop what was happening. He had tremendous guilt that he survived this particular set of battles. He couldn't share a bedroom with my grandmother because of the violent nightmares. He would sometimes wake up while trying to dig foxholes in his room. These are the only tidbits he ever shared and he spoke with such emotion that it really stuck with me. I was probably 15-17 when we talked about it and I really wish I had paid closer attention.
