On this day, 55 years ago, I either blessed or cursed my mom and dad with my arrival at the Tyndall AFB Hospital. A lot of bases I grew up on as a kid, or was stationed at myself are now closed. Tyndall came close to being completely destroyed by Hurricane Michael in Oct 2018. So being able to go to the hospital that is still operational and I was born at is cool.
So my wife and I went out to the base and she took a picture of me behind the 325th Medical Group Hospital sign, at Tyndall AFB Florida. Where my journey in life began.......

“Freedom is the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.” George Orwell, English novelist, essayist, and critic, 1903-1950
Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
C. S. Lewis

Re: 55 Years Ago.....
