Nothing at all to do with photography.
Everything to do with a debt that can never be fully repaid.

A wonderful tribute to some very heroic men who had to fight for a key position that was a crucial base for our air force on the way to victory over Japan.

Hey flyguy...I have the same AC wings on my baseball hat....USCG. 45 years ago...
Where did you serve and what type of aircraft were you a crewman on?
I was an air crew instructor at the Naval Air Reserve Training Unit, at NAS Alameda, CA. for four years and crewed on S-2 series aircraft. (June '63 to June '67)
When that four year enlistment was up I went into the ready reserve and drilled at NAS Moffett Field, Sunnyvale, CA. and was a P-3 Fight Engineer. (June '67 to June '74)
