Youths that Volunteered at the Edwards AFB

Events

Our Youths that Volunteered at the Edwards AFB 2022 Air Show and STEM Expo got an opportunity to tour the Base on Thursday. We hosted our Young Marines and Palmdale Sheriff’s Explorer’s and our tour guild; Danny “Sketch” Bazzell, Community Engagement Chief, Edwards AFB Public Affairs. We all had a great time and it was very educational. This was also an opportunity to introduce our youths to the possibility of a career in our Military service. Coffee4VETS President Juan Blanco sends his Congratulations to everyone and he’s very proud of your services to our community. Click on the images to view gallery.

Happy Irish Birthday Dennis

Announcements, Birthday Wishes, Thank You

Happy Irish Birthday Dennis. May you always have love that never ends, lots of money, and lots of friends. Health be yours, whatever you do, may God send Many blessings to you… Enjoy your special day. OUR CREDENTIALS – Brother Juan Blanco laid awesome St. Patrick’s Day Birthday card on me that was designed by awesome Atherine Blanco. Juan and I were the only paratroopers in the room who served with 8th Infantry Division in Cold War Europe circa 1970s. Thank You Juan, Atherine, and Coffee4Vets friends. When Brig. Gen. Charles Canham prepared to take surrender of Lt. Gen. Herman Ramke and his fallschirmjaeger paratroopers in Normandy, Ramke considered Canham, deputy division commander, his junior and demanded his credentials. Canham turned to his heavily armed, filthy dogface 8th Infantry Division G.I. and said “These are my credentials,” and he took the surrender. How mottos get born.
