Thanks Gary, this is very thoughtful and considerate of you.

You are quite welcome, my friend! It's the least I can do for all that you have done for folks in this thread and others on the forum. Glad to here from you again and look forward to continued contact.

I haven't said this enough recently, but Randy Clark (aka Buk2112) is one heck of a guy! He'll selflessly help anyone with anything and the world would surely be a much better place if there we many more like him! Just my two cents worth...

Meanwhile in the Pacific, the Stars and Stripes is raised on Mt Suribachi on the island of Iwo Jima. Here is the first flag raising, the smaller first flag being replaced by the second larger flag and the iconic Joe Rosenthal photo of the second flag raising.
