The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.

Red Tails, Doolittle and the Gulf Coast Trip

Hoping to see this movie today or later this week. I have a lot of movies to catch up on after returning from the 19 day Gulf Coast Trip yesterday.

It was kind of neat that I was by Eglin Air Force Base about 70 years after Doolittle's Raiders trained there as well as by Keesler AFB by Biloxi which had a prominent role in the history of the Red Tails.

Of course, the next time down, we'll stop by the World War II Museum in New Orleans, which started off as the D-Day Museum back when we there in 1995.

Lots of War on the Coasts. --GreGen
