I'm a recent retired Buff/Bone WSO that loves our Air Force history and traditions. In my opinion the WW II 8AF bomber guys and all the Nam Thud guys get the nod for the most special recognition (LOL, I'm still trying to write somebody's OER). I recently acquired Mervin Taylor's helmet and issue Benrus watch from an estate sale. I understand he passed away in 2010 after many years in retirement. I'm making a small display of some of my collections in our EAA chapter facility, and I'm going to use these items along with several art displays and models to allow our members and visitors a chance to reflect on your era and actions. Thanks for all your service.

Brian, Thank you for your service and your comments. Mervin Taylor and I flew many interesting missions together; he was a great fighter pilot. Glad his items found a suitable home. Jack
