And I'm proud to be an American
Where at least I know I'm free

And won't forget the men who died
Who gave that right to me

Of the many photos from the reunion, this is the most special for me.

Sandy took this while the KC Bettys were singing God Bless the USA.

Both Ski and I reacted to this song the same way...holding on tight to each other as the above lyrics were being sung.

Both of us remembering all the men of the CL-50 who were lost
from 7 December 1941 through 6 July 1943.
