"The Air Force announced plans to stripe 13,000 of their planes with a new type of safety paint."

What a FUN post!
My birthday is FLAG DAY! June 14!

My middle name is after Hurricane Camille, which was the worst Hurricane ever! Wiped out all of Biloxi, MS...I acquired that middle name when I was 2 yrs old, however, must have been my terrible two's. My grandparents said that everything I touched, it broke! So, it's appropriate.:P
