In the U.S., all civilian airlines are part of the Civilian Reserve Air
Force. During peace time (when the U.S. is not in a declared war)
the civilian airlines participate in the Military Airlift Command.
Better known as MAC. When the Vietnam Vets finally gained recognition,
they honored the flight attendants who carried them into the war zone and
to their R and R outside of the war zone. They were grateful to us
because we gave them comfort and courage and brought them home.
The photo above is of some of those Flight Attendants so honored.
