This being Memorial Day, I would like to thank all of the people on this board that has done anytime in one uniform or another, and I am remembering one Clarence "Bud" Ollum, a buddy of mine that I met a few years ago through another buddy, Bud did all four jumps with the eighty deuce in WW2, got a silver star pinned on by Jim Gavin himself, was later interviewed by Military History Magazine, was in Brokaws second book Greatest Generation Speaks. It was kind of like meeting Joe Foss.

JB, my father and late silhouette mentor were both PBY in South Pacific for WWII. Thanks to all the veterans and may God Bless them.
