Savannah, Georgia

Beaming a light for all World War II planes,
at the Walterboro Army Airfield,
was this 1933 Westinghouse beacon.
I often think of Hunter as a beacon for our family.
In honor of the Tuskegee airmen of World War II.
Because of their heroic action in combat,
the Germans feared them, calling them " the black bird men."
In reverence, bomber crews referred to them as their
"red tail angels"
because of their identifying red color and
because they lost no plane in combat.
Men like this in our history
allow us to impart to our children
those characteristics that make men honorable.
Tanner is a work in progress!
(We're all in Georgia for one of Jarrod's work conferences.)

Hope you are all having fun. You always manage to get lots of history involved in your travels which is awesome. No wonder your children are so well rounded. Looking forward to your visit back to NE so we'll have time to visit.
