It has been a long while , since Christmas since I have blogged .

We have been busy getting the house in order, when we bought the house , it was a blank canvas.

We are working on roses, and fruit trees along with building the porches and the dock.

It's time for Yak's peaches and vegs to be coming in and they are open in Ruston and Farmerville now. Remember they do homemade ice cream and pies.    Peachfest is coming at end of month in Ruston.

Cormier's is closed until the fall , officially declaring how hot it is. They are on vacation.

Today is a good day to work on inside projects.  I can sit in my little house and watch the weed eating and the porch will start soon. Thank goodness for Mark from City of Faith, he has been helping us all winter and into the summer.

Preparations Underway for Nationwide Flyover by Vintage Aircraft

to  Mark 70th  Anniversary  of  the  End  of  World  War  II  in  2015

Goal  is  to  promote  preservation  of  WWII  aircraft  for  future  generations

(Monroe, LA)  On  December  20,  2013,  a  group  of  aviation  heritage  organizations  are 

holding  a  press  conference  to  announce  preparations  commemorating  the  70th  anniversary 

of  the  end  of  World  War  II  with  a  nationwide  flyover  of  WWII  aircraft  in  communities 

throughout  America  on  the  weekend  of  August  15I16,  2015. 

The  goal  of  the  mass  flyover  is  to  pay  tribute  to  the  pivotal  role  American  airpower  played 

during  WWII  and  to  remind  the  public  of  the  importance  of  preserving  the  last  remaining 

planes  of  the  era  so  they  can  continue  to  educate  and  inspire  future  generations. 

The  press  conference  is  being  held  in  Monroe,  LA,  the  hometown  of  the  legendary  Gen. 

Claire  Chennault,  whose  famous  “Flying  Tigers”  took  to  the  skies  over  China  on  December 

20,  1941,  in  the  first  counter  attack  against  Japan  after  Pearl  Harbor.   

The  press  conference  will  be  hosted  by  the  Chennault  Aviation  &  Military  Museum  (701 

Kansas  Lane,  Monroe,  LA,    71203)  at  2:00  PM  CST,  followed  by  a  reception  at  the  historic 

Selman  Field,  which  was  the  site  of  the  largest  navigator  training  school  during  WWII.    The 

Southern  Heritage  Air  Foundation,  with  the  support  of  Green  Light  Development,  is  flying  in

several  WWII vintage aircraft for a flyover and display after the press conference. 

“We  are  pleased  and  honored  to  be  hosting  this  historic  press  conference  here  in  Monroe,” 

said  Nell  Calloway,  Director  of  the  Chennault  Aviation  &  Military  Museum,  and  granddaughter of

 General Chennault.    “My grandfather and the Flying Tigers helped lay the foundations for what was to

become the war in China and they are a fitting  symbol  for  a  movement  to  pay  tribute  to  the

 achievements  of  American  Airpower  during  WWII.” 

Calloway  is  a  member  of  a  steering  committee  made  up  of  representatives  from  the  History 

Channel,  the  Air  Force  Association,  the  EAA  Warbirds  of  America,  the  Commemorative  Air 

Force,  air  museums,  WWII  heritage  organizations,  aviation  publications,  and  other  groups 

that  are  helping  to  promote  participation  in  the  2015  nationwide  flyover. 

  “Airpower  was  the  decisive  factor  in  winning  the  war  and  the  source  of  technological 

advances  of  the  postwar  era,  including  man’s  exploration  of  space,”  said  Jerry  Yellin,  89, 

who  flew  the  final  combat  mission  of  WWII  in  a  P51  fighter  on  August  14,  1945,  and  is  the

honorary co-chair of the steering committee.    “We need to assure these precious aircraft are 

maintained  in  flyable  condition  so  that  they  can  continue  to  educate  and  inspire  the  youth  of 

America.” 

Other  groups  are  developing  plans  for  similar  “signature”  projects  to  commemorate  the  70th 

anniversary  in  2015  that  will  honor  the  WWII  legacy  of  the  Army,  the  Seaborne  Services,  and the

 Home  Front.

#UncleSi and #duckdynasty give back to their community and the veterans

I have missed blogging daily !

I know you have noticed I am spending a lot of time at the Chennault Museum.    It is such a great place and is always hopping every day.   Uncle Si was recently at the Museum and we hope to have a new display with some of his service memorabilia soon.   He was one of the grand marshals at the Veteran's Day Parade and was such a good sport.
