The RP: It’s 11:11:11 on 11/11/11, & I’m Saluting My Veteran Hero

Jerry flew 66 fighter-bomber missions over Europe during the final years of World War II.  His earlier claim to fame is that he almost broke the sound barrier on June 9, 1944, at 6:05 p.m. over Salisbury, Maryland, and lived to tell about it. At 88 years young, he remains an active member of Lexington’s Jewish community, as well as a doting grandfather and great-grandfather.

Who are you saluting?  Please comment below:

(And if you missed it, there’ll be another 11:11:11 in 12 hours, as long as you aren’t one of those international clock-ers!)
