He was there, don't know if he brought a bird or not....He sent me a "certified" American Flag flown over Iraq when he was skipper of VMM-263 with a squadron photo!! With a name like Rock you just gotta get your stars!!! Well deserved, I believe!!

Yes he was there JJ, but I don't think he flew anything in. He has red hair.

Gents,

Rock and his wife were a guest of HMM-263 at the DC reunion where he joined us for Friday night dinner and spent some time at Squadron Hootch. He was at the Reno and Orlando reunion as a member of PAS. Looking forward to seeing him (and you guys also) in San Diego.
