In recognition of the holiday we’d like to salute one veteran in particular, Drew’s father David, who flew jets for the Navy during the Vietnam War. While in DC we visited the Air and Space Museum, and what did we find in one of the exhibits? A plane that Dave flew. I don’t mean the same type of plane, I mean THE ACTUAL PLANE.
Dave’s A-4 Skyhawk, which flew from the USS Bonhomme Richard (aka “The Bonny Dick”).
Wow.

Dear Linda, I’ve always known my brother David was a hero, however I didn’t realize that they had put HIS jet on display in Washington, DC! How did anyone know about this??? Love the photos and remarkable living history that you all are creating on this journey. Love, Aunt Mindy
