This weekend Vancouver National Historic Reserve and Pearson Airpark in Vancouver, WA are having a tribute celebrating the end of WWII, 60 years ago. It's honoring the veterans and their families with vintage Airplanes, army tents and other displays. In addition, they are videotaping oral histories from the veterans. It's all important to remember!

Thanks Freckles! Yes, this end of WWII celebration is important to remember for sure. I wish my dad was still healthy enough to travel to some of these events. He was an Army Air Corp pilot and loves to talk about the old airplanes. The one that he flew was recently presented in a new museum in North Carolina - he had been invited along with another living crew member - to the unveiling of this old vintage plane - wish I could remember what it is called and look it up He always called it *gooney-bird* so I think it is the C-47..... a refueling aircraft anyway.
