This is one of the nicest threads that I have ever read. Thanks to Ski for his thoughtful gesture. Hang in there Jimi, I'm pulling for you.

Jimi,
I had a little hiccup with the shipping of your Flag.
1. My initial FED->EX label was a misprint for FED EX ground, even though it was a FED EX "Express" (My fault)
2. Then on the second label my printer ran out of ink (Lexmark)
(2nd attempt for fed Ex to pick up at my house, Fed Ex never arrived)
3. I printed the correct label out at my work desk Wednesday
4. I left the package for pick-up at my work for Thursday (Friday, FED holiday, no work)
5. By Thursday at 4PM Fed Ex did NOT pick it up because "I did not schedule it for pick-up" (I have a hard time w/ the Fed Ex on-line menu, even though I have a business account with them, I always screw it up)
6. So, Thursday afternoon, my "Bud" who works second shift brought the box home, meanwhile Thursday afternoon I re-scheduled a pick up at my house. (3rd attempt)
7. It went out, successfully, "whew!" Friday
Tracking number is: 777679490834
Confirmation for pick up number: WJFA10 (from my residence)
Now: Included are numerous "Program patches" for the F-22 along with some neat decals, along with a set of "Raptor Wings" individuals receive for extra special work we do at the F-22 CTF, a recognition, but i can not remember what I got them for...
Also" Some "challenge Coins" that "we" in the Military use and carry all of the time (If some-one challenges you and you do NOT have your coin, you owe them a round" (A tradition)
Also: the F119 patch is an exclusive Pratt-Whitney engine patch specific/exclusive to the F-22.
-You SHOULD have the Box by Monday!

PS: It did go Fed Ex Express!

Just awaiting Jimi's reply
I have called him
Left him a text message
I dont want the box stolen....
He is probably not having a "Good Day" due to his Chemo (Poison) on Thursday....
Any way, his Flag has been delivered...

super-bee_ski!! I'm in shock, speechless, thoroughly Humbled. I've never been so Graced. We've missed eachother on phone a couple times now. The letter You wrote, the Heart of All Who were part of the sortie......i am Profoundly stirred.
I took the Ensemble to Church today,,,little Homeland neighborhood Church i do. Unreheased, Mike, the Pastor did a presentation before service. He spoke briefly of the gift of unexpected Honor, recognition. Then He read the Certificate aloud, then asked me to show the Flag around to the Congregation. My knees were shaking! Reaction of the Church was Awe. Nobody is in more Awe than me.
These Challege Coins & the Wings are Spectacular! The top row of Badges/patches are glossy stickers, the remaining rows are stitched patches.
I only did not show a pic of Mark's letter framed, as it is His letterhead with Personal info.
Thank You Mark, & All those on the Team Who strove to Bless me with this Honor.
You ARE the Man, Ski!!
Greetings BBO-sters!!
And the fact that the Flag arrived on Veterans Day weekend is Amazing.
When i get some gas back in my tank, i can finish up the piece for the Team.
God Bless Everyone.

I spoke to Mark on phone Sunday......i cant wait for the opportunity to meet, which Hopefully will be @ Spring Fling 2017! In the interim, i will be working on getting 'Mr. Gadget' here done for the 'Crew'
This Flag & docouments will never be far from me & will always accompany my sculpture. It already is weighing in heavy as to the Fate of the Ensemble,,,where it ends up upon my Death.....i have No Child to leave to......Peace On Earth......

The Flag showing up on Veterans Day weekend was sure a Bonus. Truly unbelievable stuff Mark.
I Hope very much to come out of the other side of this cancer grapple, & be able to do some volunteer work in the Edwards Museum.
I was on the phone with my Big Sis saturday, going through some of Dad's log books & we found the War Years with Douglas & Martin. B-17D's! A-20, SBD, DC-4.............my most treasured,,,,time spent doing shakedown/ferry runs with Martin B-26 Marauders. I sure wish Dad could see this Wonderful thing that You & the Air Force have attributed to me. I can never Thank You enough Mark.....Your Friend & Allie,

I cleaned up my Strat finally, strung Her with some new heavy 'flatties' & pinned super-bee_ski's F-22 Wings to the axe bridle. This axe has seen some time.....the paint job has a helluvan aviation story behind it surrounding a Lear 35.
