A Soldier Died Today
Pat P.
Thanks Pat...........The old veterans are still solders, just as the young soldiers of today will still be soldiers and they themselves will be replaced by the young soldiers of the future

Some leave their mark, others, like TSgt. Bray, set a precedence for those that have followed him. Rest in peace Sgt.

Mark asked me to post this as he was on his phone.
One pilot is dead, and one was transferred to Val Verde Regional Medical Center when an Air Force T-38 talon assigned here at Laughlin Air Force Base, Texas, crashed at around 4 p.m. today approximately 14 miles northwest of the base near Spur 454 and U.S. 90 in Del Rio, Texas.
Laughlin and local emergency responders are on scene.
The names of the pilots are being withheld for next of kin notification.
A board of officers will convene to investigate the incident.
"Our biggest priority at this time is caring for the family and friends of our Airmen," said Col. Michelle Pryor, 47th Flying Training Wing vice commander. "We are a close knit family, and when a tragedy like this occurs every member of the U.S. Armed Forces feels it. Our people take top priority, and we are committed to ensuring their safety and security."
Additional details will be provided as information becomes available. Questions should be directed to the public affairs office at 830-298-5262.

On this Special Day of Remembrance let us give a prayer to those we knew who died as Brothers in Arm, but also for the thousands who we only know as fellow Veterans. I went out to Dayton Cemetery earlier and watched a small group offering prayers to all who served, but mostly for those who gave the greatest sacrifice. RIP old friends Lorin

One of the things I look forward to once I have Her Bedridden-ness squared away and moved in with her sister is to start spending Memorial Days taking a couple rolls of pennies out to the cemetery where Grandpa's interred and leaving them on his brothers-at-arms' headstones. To all our fallen, and the foreign allies who fell at their sides, RIP knowing that your sacrifices are neither forgotten nor unappreciated.

Members of the F-106 Forum. Bobski called me a few minutes ago to tell me that The Old Sarge Jim Gier passed away last night.
Bob was traveling and the telephone connection wasn't good so he will call me later with more details.
He will also send out a F-106 Update about Jim. I will send more details when I receive them.
Pat P.
Rest in peace Jim

I think we all feel sorrow and regrets on the passing of one of USAF's finest...The Old Sarge, Jim Geir, RIP old friend and our prayers are with Sandy and the family. I enjoyed many posts with Jim over the years as well as many private e-mails going back and forth. I will miss his sense of worth and his support for all of us. We lost a friend today. Lorin
