Default MAY PHOTO CONTEST

The month of May includes what I consider one of the most sacred holidays our country celebrate. Memorial Day.

The subject is: The Armed Forces.

ANYTHING...as long as it's It has something to do with The Armed Forces. It can be personnel or equipment.

* Picture must be taken during May.
* Must be taken by you.

Post up as many as you want for feedback. Then select your favorite for the poll vote.

Newport News Shipbuilding's 1,050-metric ton gantry crane lifted the forward end of one of aircraft carrier Gerald R. Ford's (CVN 78) catapults into place Tuesday, bringing more than three years of structural erection work to a close.

Here's a photo I took yesterday of my Grandad - joined the US Navy when he was 17 years old - he's now 82. Still has his uniform and that same mischievous smile.

I took these today. So, I don't want to be included in the monthly contest. I pulled a couple of items from my Civil War and WW2 collections. The speedo is a 700mph used in fighters like the Mustang. They were optimistic about the speed lol Blood chit from the CBI theater of Flying Tigers fame. Leather flight helmet and A/O goggles. CW stuff is an original CDV of a union soldier, cap pouch, a couple of musket balls, a calvary spur that I dug, and a union infantry button that I dug. I have more stuff. Just never get around to taking pics.
