Jacob had the experience of a lifetime. He went to Forrest City with his Grandparents. They took him to a Vietnam Veteran's celebration. Grandpa was honored for his service during the Veitnam war with a very nice medal. They had lots to see and do, among them was a helicopter ride. From what I heard, they stood in the line for hours to get a ride. It was expensive to get to ride and Grandpa wanted to take Jake. They got to fly on a huey army helicopter. Jake had the time of his life. We got a phone call shortly after he was back on the ground and he was so excited. he went on and on about how amazing it was. The helicopter dipped and dove and dropped and climbed. It sounded like the kind of ride I would have gotten very sick on. Jake said Grandpa was hanging on for dear life. They sat in the gunner of the plane and felt like the were hanging in their seats. Jake said Grandpa looked pretty scared and hollered at some points. It sounded like quite the ride. I don't think there is too much that could top that experience for Jake. I am glad he got the opportunity. Thanks Grandpa for the thrill of a lifetime.
