Slow Hand Salute

6/20/2018

 
Picture
The last veteran to lie in the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery was finally identified as Classmate Mike Blassie.  Mike had already flown 130 combat missions when his A-37  was downed over An Loc, Vietnam in May 1972.  He is on our roster of Classmates who have given their lives in service above self.  
Mike's story ► is just one of the stories we honor among our nine Classmates who were killed in action.  Classmate Mike Lambert, MD, (Col, USAF ret) made sure that they were all recognized this past Memorial Day on national news.  We stand and render our Classmates & friends  a slow hand salute.  When our band of runners crosses the HTC finish line carrying our "70 Battle Flag," these nine brothers will be there with us!  

PS, in Jim Mulford's bio below is the plaque honoring our Classmates killed in action.
