Pappy Boyington Honored

It's wonderful that someone has pushed this through for Boyington.
Be advised however, that Greg was a fairly private guy who really didn't
seek out or particularly appreciate this kind of singled out attention.
In fact, aside from his VERY close personal buddies, Greg kept pretty
well away from this kind of thing. I wouldn't be half surprised that
depending on the mood he was in when he got this news, if he didn't
attend any ceremony attached to this event.
Boyington felt quite strongly that the REAL heroes of the war were still
out there...dead! When people cornered him on occasion and started
laying on the hero stuff, he could actually be quite colorful with his
responses :-))
Personally, I'm glad this has been done for him. Greg Boyington was a
regular guy.
