Note the bomb splashes from an aerial attack by four D3A Aichi “Val” dive bombers during refueling operations east of Saipan. Ever seen a flight deck full of Thunderbolts before?

Observed annually from October 23-31, Red Ribbon Week is a national celebration to promote youth education on the dangers of substance abuse.

The DEA encourages all Boy Scout and Girl Scout groups to participate. Patches will be given to the first 15,000 qualifying Boy Scout and Girl Scouts. The Red Ribbon Patch Program information can be found on our website, www.JustThinkTwice.com.
