I have blogged about aerial wildland firefighting since 2009. I am not a firefighter and am not a pilot, just an interested bystander who wants to learn more and share what I learn here. Join me here as I blog on the aircraft and the pilots who fight wildland fires from the air in support of crews on the ground. I also blog on concerns affecting fire crews on the ground as well as other aviation and meteorology issues. Learn what it takes to do jobs that are staffed by the best of the best.

Memorial Day - remembering those who died in military service
Direct Link to Video
Please join me in pausing, albeit perhaps a day late, in remembering all the men and women in military service in the United States who have died in service to their country. You have made the ultimate sacrifice. Let us not forget. Let us not forget the families whose loved one did not come home after their military service.
As someone who grew up an came of age while the Vietnam War was going on, I am offering a special remembrance for all who died in Vietnam.
I meant to write this post yesterday, May 29th, on the day that we celebrated Memorial Day in the United States. As I was reflecting on the act that I missed posting yesterday, I remembered that today, May 30th, is the day that I grew up celebrating as Memorial Day. So perhaps it is fitting that I write this post today.
