2 American Military Pilots remains were found in 2012 in Viet Nam.    They were brought home and given a Military Funeral at Arlington Cemetary.    Our POS President declined letting the Military do a fly over so he and his family could use the money to go on another lavish vacation...............Civilian Pilots took up the slack........

Thank GOD for those Pilots of the vintage aircraft. Our " C I C " leaves so much to be desired in the human decency department. Those guys reached into their own wallets and did something selfless. So far all the P G R missions I've been on have had Full Military Honors.  cooldude Wonder if that will change?   tickedoff  Today in my neck of the woods we are standing a Flag Line for a 90 year old WWII Vet who passed on 7 Dec 2014.

Good that the soldier was returned home. Sad it took so long

I do not believe they ever recovered my mom's cousins husband who was on a B52 shot down over either Laos or Cambodia   The govmt just said KIA.  They were only recently married when SAM took them down or so I was told.

Anyone who rides PGR has my great respect Old2soon, I've done only about half a dozen myself and none at all in the past few years.
