What a great photo!

Small block eight so live she feels
There she's parked beside the curb
Engine revving to disturb
She's the princess from his past
Red paint gold stripes damned she's fast"

That's J8, last July 1 at one of the Simeone Museum's Demonstration Days... they staged it with the giant flag and it looked great.

I Shook hands with a WWII veteran the other week while eating breakfast at a Cracker Barrel.

I sincerely Thanked him for his service to his/our country. His Nephew was with him and told me he was a combat soldier of THE  "Battle of Normandy". My knees about buckled and I went on to give him another handshake, a 2-hand, hand shake and my body was trembling inside, and a lump in my throat.

Returning to my table, I couldn't hardly talk to my wife about it for my voice wanted to tremble.  I sat and glanced at this American Hero and wandered inside my head, what it was like to be in such a vicious battle and a turning point in WWII.

Amazing for me to Shake the hand of this True American Hero!!!

My cousins husband stormed "the beach's...."
It was always fun to see him. He passed about 2 years ago but is not forgotten.

We are losing the "Greatest Generation" all too quickly. Thank you to every Veteran that served this great country, God Bless America.

I'm fortunate that I get to shake the hand and hug my Dad who served in WW2. At now 93 years he's in excellent health, still holds a flying license and flies his own planes.
