Well, Pearl Harbor and Pacific Theater vets are probably higher on that 
list..

Semi related wierd event, with some Alfa content:

Years ago, I was driving next to the Marine Helicopter base here in 
Orange County..  it was a nice sunny day, I had the top down on the 74 
Spider..  and I heard a prop plane overhead.  Now, there was an airstrip 
but it was hardly used, the norm was for very large 'choppers to be 
flying around there.

So I look up, and nearly drove off the road when I saw a shiny new 
Mitsubishi Zero, with rising suns on the wings and all, looking for all 
the world like it was turning for a strafing run on the base!

Very unsettling.. I kept looking around to see if the cars were still of 
mid 80's vintage, and if I was going to see Rod Serling standing on a 
streetcorner..

Must have been someone with a huge retirement plan, dropping in for a 
visit..  And we think restoring old cars is an expensive hobby!!
