Vote for the American GI, Time Person of the Century -
A recent new article said that a group called the Riverside Republican
Women
Federated has spearheaded an initiative along with the following
groups to vote
for the American GI as Time Magazine's Person of the Century.
The Citizen
Patriots Group, The Congressional Medal of Honor Society, the
VFW, American
Legion, Vietnam Veterans of America and even Rush Limbaugh is
pushing the issue
for people to vote.
To date 10 million people have voted. In this Century
600,000 GIs have died, millions more wounded. All of us have had
a dad, mom,
sister, brother, friend, relative or yourself that has served
in the military. We are voting for all of us. Forward this to
all your friends and relatives.
Make a difference and help to influence Time magazine to name
the real person of
the century. Time is of the essence as Dec. 20 is the deadline.
You can click
the link at the bottom, or fax your nominee to 212-522-8949.

A website with some great aviation pictures. It's a little graphics heavy, but worth it.
BIRD DOG MODELS
I had to wait till I got home tonight to send you the information you requested. There is a mail order company that deals in models call "The Squadron". Last year I bought two O-1E Bird Dog models from them. I have not seen them in their catalog lately but that doesn't mean they don't have it in stock. They have a website: http://www.squadron.com and e-mail address is mailorder@aquadron.com
You may call them at (972) 242-8663

I believe the image to be a partial scan of the unit patch of
