Michigan Remembers Run, Sept. 22, 2007. Two pages of photos!
This
is a picture of Robert "Stretch" Cleeland who accompanied us on the ride to
Lansing. He is a Son Tay Raider and you will
see photos of him throughout the two pages. It was a personal thrill
to meet this man. He is retired from the U.S. Air Force.
The Son Tay raid was a raid that took place on Nov. 21, 1970 with the
purpose of freeing American POW's. It went off in planned
fashion but the POW's had been moved just previous to the raid. Russ
Surbrook invited him to ride up from Alabama to attend this function and he
came. Thank you Stretch for riding up to Lansing with us, and thanks
for your participation in the attempt to free some of our POW's and thanks
for your service. (click on the pictures to enlarge)
