Our Trip To The Bone Yard

Today Barbara and I spent our morning at the National Aircraft Salvage Yard. National Aircraft Salvage purchases aircraft pieces from the military and is our supplier for our scrap metal we use to make our dog tags.

We toured the facility and saw a lot of military planes from the Korean War and the Vietnam War. We also got to purchase the C-130 wing that we will take and create our messages of peace.

This plane served our country well in the VIetnam war. It is just incredible to see the process in action. Who would of thought that these remnants of a war 40 years ago would be used to help build lodging for families of our wounded veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan. It is really interesting to know that this planes final service to our country is to help veterans 40 years later.
