Friday - September 19th, U.S. Air Force Museum,
Dayton Ohio & Memorial Service
Friday morning we boarded the coaches for a trip up the
road to the Air Force Museum at Wright-Patterson Air
Force Base in Dayton, Ohio. Our first stop at the
base was the hanger containing the Presidential plane
collection. From there we toured the huge hangers
that contained war planes and experimental planes from
WWI through the cold war and Desert Storm eras.
After the tours we went to the Basel Chapel where
Chaplain Rucker conducted the Memorial Service honoring
those shipmates that have departed us since our last
reunion. The ceremony was capped off with the
playing of Taps by shipmate George Kaiser using our own
ceremonial bugle.
