Remembering Veterans

Sepia-toned group portrait of ten men in flight suits and harnesses, with an airplane propeller and engine in the background. Four men stand in the back row, and six men crouch in the front row. Handwritten text is visible vertically on the right edge of the photograph.

Although we’re working to get everyone’s orders shipped out, we still think a lot about veterans here, especially on November 11th (my American History teacher thought it was the perfect date to sign an armistice and the ONE day we could probably remember, he was right!). That’s my grandpa: LeRoy Bair, he served as a radio operator on a B-17 flying fortress in World War 2. Their plane was shot down (23rd of 25 missions!) and he was in a German POW camp for 11 months. I know I shared those photos on Memorial day but today is a good day to share them again.

Did you know we have a military and first responder discount? We actually switched discount providers recently, the new one should be easier for people to use and expands the list of people who can take advantage of the discount.
