Tonight's picture was taken in May of 2007. We took Mattie to Andrews Air Force Base for their annual air show. This was our first and last air show together. Mattie loved cars, planes, trains, and boats. Basically anything that moved. It fascinated him. Mattie was truly in awe of the planes on display at the air base. It was a very hands on experience, as Mattie got to walk through many of the aircraft, meet members of the military and even see a Thunderbirds air show. It was a day to remember.
Quote of the day: Today's coronavirus update from Johns Hopkins.
The Washington National Mall has been our therapy for the last 40+ days. Each day we walk around it and get to see signs of life and hope. Yesterday was the truck rally and today was an incredible fly over by the Navy's Blue Angels and the Air Force's Thunderbirds.
There were signs of life all around us. People walking about, and clearly illustrating that social distancing is possible in a city. We can function to some extent without having to be shut in at home. Today's air tribute was about first responders, but in essence what it did for all of us on the National Mall, was to instill hope...... which is vital for the human spirit and survival.
These jets flew over New York City on Tuesday in a tribute to the medical personnel, first responders and other essential workers involved in fighting the coronavirus pandemic. They then moved to
Trenton, New Jersey, and Philadelphia. Today was the National Capital Region's opportunity to see this glorious salute to those working on the front line of the COVID-19 response. A flyover right above the Lincoln Memorial.
Blue Angels on the left and the Thunderbirds on the right.
They flew over us four different times!
The video Peter captured during the fourth and final flyover..............................
