I donated pictures of my brother in his uniform yesterday to the museum that has been put together in the old grist mill bldg in my home town, Ortonville, MI. He served in army intelligence in Viet Nam in 1969-70. They have a wonderful military display on the top floor that is very well stocked and organized by each war. My siblings and I feel honored to have his pictures on display. I have visited two WWII vets while here, one who is 92, doesn't look a day over 70 and has more energy than I and who flew 17 missions over Italy in B-24's. I drove 3 hrs to his house and spent and entire day with him and can't imagine a better day. He couldn't imagine why I wanted to spend a day with an "old fart" like him but there was no place I'd have rather been.
