71st anniversary of D-Day and also happens to be the weekend of the WWII Airshow in Reading, PA.    It's a bit of a drive and can be tiring hanging around all day.    It is worth it.    FiFi (B-29) was there along with lots of other bombers, fighters, armory hardware, period re-enacters (military and civilian; Allies and Axis), airborne from period aircraft, etc.    Nothing like seeing FiFi come in low over the airfield.     Only thing better was listening in on the old guys telling stories.    :)

we were at Dulles today participating in Honor Flight, we greeted WWII, Korean, and Vietnam veterans who arrived from Kentucky to visit the various war memorials.  It is always a very moving experience as there were probably 100 people lined up to cheer, shake hands and greet the veterans, who didn't know that they would be receiving that kind of welcome upon arrival.
