WIX WW2 combat veterans

Thu Feb 28, 2008 12:38 pm

Do we have any WIX members here who flew combat missions during WW2? I know several WIX members here know combat veterans from WW2, but do we have any actual members here?

While I ask this question, I must state that I'm standing at attention out of respect for ALL WIX members who are veterans of any conflict or service, past or present .... salutes to you all .... :wink: :D :D

Scott where's the "salute" emotion icon? ... lolol ... well this is the only one I could find that works .... :drink3:
