Pleiku_School_Girls.JPGPleiku series125 viewsPleiku School Girls: Note the uniforms. The school was next to the church so I assume it was a church run school.

Yates_-_Tennerman.jpgHonor Flight to DC125 viewsI spent this past weekend (June, 2015) acting as Escort for my wife's uncle on
an Honor Flight to Washington, DC. Earl Tennerman was in the Navy, and
wounded at Peleliu in the Palau Islands when his ship was hit by enemy fire.
We participated in the 71st anniversary of D-Day commemoration service. Earl got to lay a
wreath at the World War II memorial.
