planes landing on aircraft carriers! Think of what that was like for your dad to be a part of that first hand! I have been part of freely protesting at various stages of my life and can’t fathom what it would be like to participate while risking beating and/or imprisonment. I was in high school in the mid sixties and the news footage of the barbaric treatment of civil rights protesters in the South frightened me and at the same time I was amazed at the sheer bravery and courage in the face of brutality. Thanks again for sharing your experience. I really enjoyed reading your posts!😊
