Bogus EMail Address

Never thought it would happen to me – but someone has hacked my yahoo email address.

SO if you get an email from me (Deb) that has a YAHOO address – do not open.

I’m so sorry for this.

An email went out today (June 18) that was supposedly from me, SUBJECT: FW: Deb

Text read “How are you?” (with a link).

THAT IS NOT FROM ME!

Darn…

523rd Patch

This one is on eBay. Looks like the one the 523rd Ace of Spades guntruck crew wore. I can find no evidence that Air Force or any air crew wore it. Been ruffled up to look old.

A proud member of VVA, Marie Knasiak, LTC. U.S. Army Ret., will be greatly missed by her fellow Vietnam veterans of VVA Chapter 1037 in Port Charlotte, Florida. Knasiak still holds the record for being the oldest female veteran to ever join VVA. She passed away on March 21, 2013. Highly decorated, her decorations include a Bronze Star for bravery, the Legion of Merit, four Army Commendation medals, and numerous service and campaign medals.

Today is the 69th anniversary of D-Day. Keep all those hero’s who sacrificed there lives to make us free on your mind today. The national D-Day memorial in Bedford, Va is having a big ceremony, with WWll Vets, Military officials and the French Ambassador. Bedford, Va lost the most vets per capita on that day.
