A little family history

My dad (who turned 91 in July) just sent a short email around to the family:

"70 years ago today (18Aug56) I was sworn in to the USAF."

I thought this was amazing and worth sharing.

  3. The date, August 18, rang a cobweb-covered bell. I checked my DD-214 and whaddaya know? It was 51 years ago today (18Aug75) that I enlisted in the USAF. Tell you dad hello and thanks from a fellow Air Force veteran.

  5. 62 years ago in June I enlisted in the Air Force. Loved it, enjoyed all the people I met worked with and worked for and had some great assignments.
