Very excited to see one of my favorite #WW2 aircraft at the air show in Reading. I always enjoyed reading about the B-24 Liberator and their crews. Fantastic to see it roar by us during the show.
On the morning of June 6, 1944, residents of communities across #Pennsylvania’s #CoalRegion awoke to the news that Allied forces had landed in Normandy. They responded with hope, excitement, meditation, and prayer. They quietly gathered in churches, synagogues, and other quiet places to contemplate the meaning of this historic event. Click the link in my profile to read accounts of #DDay on the Pennsylvania home front.

Made a stop to see Rich and experience the extremely moving Flight 93 National Memorial this afternoon under an ominous sky.
Had the chance to live a childhood dream and visit the Horseshoe Curve above Altoona. We waited more than an hour to see a train pass by. Then within 15 minutes, we saw 3 freight trains and Amtrak’s Pennsylvanian negotiate the steep curve.
