Jennifer I feel that same about the different bloggers that I visiting,that is why my blog roll is so long.
Hi, I am visiting you back. Thanks for stopping by. I watched the u-tube video.I love this poem. I love watching jets in flight.I moved from Colorado when I was 13 so I didn\’t get to see this particular sign off before. I remember, back in the day of the blue snow, waking up on the couch to the national anthem playing or the sound of static. Oh, the memories.
this is a cool video, thanks for stopping by my place

Tina,the original one had an F-104 fighter that the USAF made for the television stations.That one unfortunaly is not available on you tube.So I went with the next best thing.
