This is a most amazing video and so well done of the ops, planes, liberty, people and etc.
I am overwhelmed. It makes mine look amateur. You need to post that as a video response to my Midway Tribute video. I Loved it...and loved the music. Well done. If I could write you a certificate of commendation, you know I would. Maybe a meritorious mast or promotion for sure. Semper Fi and thanks for keeping the memories alive. 5 stars.
