Picture Of The Week

I'm guessing the guy on the balcony was dropping his tacos in his shorts about the time this picture was taken. Can you imagine how loud this must have been?

To all the FL Pundit family,
seeing this beautiful Ship reminds me of a post i read sometimes back...Having
the "Love and Respect" for our men and women who serve our Military, this
would please me to share this with you and ask you to please read and say a
short prayer for our Hero's.......

The Letter, A Salute to a Hero:

Luke AFB is west of Phoenix and is rapidly being surrounded by civilization that
complains about the noise from the base and its planes, forgetting that it was there
long before they were. A certain lieutenant colonel at Luke AFB deserves a big pat
on the back. Apparently, an individual who lives somewhere near Luke AFB wrote
the local paper complaining about a group of F-16s that disturbed his/her day at the
mall When that individual read the response from a Luke AFB officer, it must have
stung quite a bit..
The complaint:
'Question of the day for Luke Air Force Base
Whom do we thank for the morning air show? Last Wednesday, at precisely 9:11 A.M,
a tight formation of four F-16 jets made a low pass over Arrowhead Mall, continuing
west over Bell Road at approximately 500 feet. Imagine our good fortune! Do the Tom
Cruise-wannabe's feel we need this wake-up call, or were they trying to impress the
cashiers at Mervyns early bird special?
Any response would be appreciated.

The response:

Regarding 'A wake-up call from Luke's jets' On June 15, at precisely 9:12 a.m , a
perfectly timed four-ship fly by of F-16s from the 63rd Fighter Squadron at Luke
Air Force Base flew over the grave of Capt. Jeremy Fresques. Capt. Fresques
was an Air Force officer who was previously stationed at Luke Air Force Base
and was killed in Iraq on May 30, Memorial Day.

At 9 a.m. on June 15 , his family and friends gathered at Sunland Memorial Park
in Sun City to mourn the loss of a husband, son and friend.. Based on the letter
writer's recount of the fly by, and because of the jet noise, I'm sure you didn't hear
the 21-gun salute, the playing of taps, or my words to the widow and parents of
Capt. Fresques as I gave them their son's flag on behalf of the President of the
United States and all those veterans and servicemen and women who understand
the sacrifices they have endured.
A four-ship fly by is a display of respect the Air Force gives to those who give their
lives in defense of freedom. We are professional aviators and take our jobs seriously,
and on June 15 what the letter writer witnessed was four officers lining up to pay their
ultimate respects.

The letter writer asks, 'Whom do we thank for the morning air show? The 56th Fighter
Wing will make the call for you, and forward your thanks to the widow and parents
of Captain Fresques, and thank them for you, for it was in their honor that my pilots flew
the most honorable formation of their lives.

Only 2 defining forces have ever offered to die for you....Jesus Christ and the American
Soldier.. One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.

Lt. Col. Grant L. Rosensteel, Jr.
USAF
How ALL phones SHOULD be answered!

Good morning,"Welcome to the United States of America."
