Today is a special day.

Remember when... thirty seemed so old.
55 years ago;
On the morning of Nov. 18th. I was plucked out of some fire base and flown by chopper to Cam Ranh Bay, where I flew home on a civilian freedom bird. Never even got any change of clothes. Climbed aboard in jungle fatigues. Barely made it on the flight, late morning, (they had held the plane for me).
I arrived at Travis Air base in the am. on the same day, Nov. 18th. That was weird.

I was not prepared for the sight of mini shirted stewardess having been out of the loop since mid 68 to Nov.70 Couldn't help myself... when she passed by me, I just reached up and ran my hand along her leg. "Just wanted to be sure I'm not dreaming" I said. She smiled. :)
