Stationed at Loring with the 42nd BW in 1961-64 ... Newlywed and the first time one of these big beautiful babies comes over the house she says: "WHAT was that??" I reply: "Just the sound of peace, honey." 50 years later and still married, she sees a B52 the other day and says to me: "There's the sound of peace."
