The Towers and the sst Concorde

I remember as a kid I built lots of models,  69 Mach 1, 73 Vette, the Pan Am SST, PT 109
the Yorktown, the Bounty, a Buick Wildcat cant remember others off the top of my head

My uncle Dave, who was a marine on a bomber in WWII Pacific became the head electrician on the WTC project,  My friend Dean's dad Akira Yamasaki, whose family rode out years in the internment camp ended up chief electrician on the antenna that went up ON TOP of the towers

Giants among men but so humble   All Dave would say about his service was that they went through a bunch of planes before they had one that would not get shot down and that anti semitism was rampant back then.  He had to fly for hours during long missions but not allowed to take off or land while the crew played cards lol  19 yr old kids

Remember what was taken from us and take nothing for granted
