An air of anticipa- tion grew for many of the visitors, some who had never been to the site of the Coast Guard’s only boot camp, and for those who had not been there in decades. Coast Guard personnel distinguished between the CGCVA visitors and arriving parents and friends of the graduating recruit companies, directing each to specific parking locations. From there it was on to the Harborview Lounge for registration, refreshments and introductions. Mini-Reunion coordinators PNP Jack Campbell, Trustee Herb Weinstein and Terry Lee welcomed every- one and directed them to the Registration Desk, ably Some of the more than 100 CGCVA members and guests fill the “manned” by Nancy Burke, Shirley Ramsey, ‘Bubs’ grandstands to watch recruit graduation exercises at USCG Tipling and Mare Swift.

  • Thunder Chickens Take Osprey To
    Fort Worth, Texas November 2007, Issue 20 OOHRAH! Thunder Chickens take Osprey to war The V-22 Osprey is now in service defending our country after a quarter century of research and development – and a great deal of work. Ten MV-22s from Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 263 (VMM-263) arrived in Iraq in early October. Known as the “Thunder Chickens,” they are stationed at Al Asad Air Base west of Baghdad. “It has been a long time coming,” said Art Gravley, the chief Bell engineer for the V-22. “With all the different problems we’ve had in the program in terms of threats of cancellation and accidents, it’s such a satisfying thing to get to this point.” The deployment means a great deal to those who have had their hands in the tiltrotor, many of them for years. For Bell, creating the Osprey is a team effort. Large sections of the aircraft, particularly the wings, are constructed at the Advanced TOP: Marines of VMM-263 gather in front of an Osprey at Al Asad Air Base, Iraq.

I said that to Harrison Starr, the movie-maker, one time, and he raised his eyebrows and inquired, “Is it an anti-war book?” “Yes,” I said. “I guess.” “You know what I say to people when I hear they’re writing anti-war books?” “No. What do you say, Harrison Starr?” “I say, ‘Why don’t you write an anti-glacier book instead?’” What he meant, of course, was that there would always be wars, that they were as easy to stop as glaciers.

  • The American Legion [Volume 138, No. 6 (June 1995)]
    The parades may be over, but our appreciation marches on. As an American Legion member, you still have until June 30th to save $400 on a new 1995 Buick LeSabre, Regal or Century during Buick Qualidays. The brass bands may be silent now, but our Buick Qualidays celebration is still in full swing. Which means we're still showing our gratitude to American Legion members by offering you a $400 savings on one of our three top-selling Buicks. And to further show our appreciation, Buick will donate $100 to the American Legion baseball team of your choice when you make your purchase. It's the perfect time to save on Buicks that have always represented solid value. The Regal, America's premier mid-size automobile, features a newly redesigned interior. Twice, the LeSabre has been named Family Circle's "Family Car of the Year," and has been the best-selling full-size family LeSabre car in America (1993, 1994). And the Century's combination of comfort, safety and affordability makes it an outstanding example of Buick Quality. Stop into your Buick dealer before June 30, 1995 and choose from among the Regal largest selection of Buicks in ten years. Finalize your pricing, then present the certificate contained in last month's issue ^ ^ for a $400 savings, or see your dealer for more details. It's our way of expressing our gratitude after the parades are over. Century To locate your nearest Buick dealer, call 1-800-4A-BUICK Buick will donate $100 to the local American Legion baseball team of your choice for each new 1995 Buick LeSabre, Regal or Century purchased.
