Historian Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 (edited) In 1980 i was living in Orlando, FL. Dad was stationed at the the navy base there. I was eight. Yeah, i'm not history...just yet. What a interesting decade that was. The music alone is worth the decade. I once worked with one of the hostages from the Iranian embassy. He was the only person not decorated for his service. And i won't say a thing about him other than that....ever. Edited July 13, 2020 by Historian 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someday Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 I was born in '74 - I literally grew up in the 80's. Seems like it was another world back then. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was stationed at Sheppard for three years, but had left before 1980. I remember we would sit on top of the BOQ's drinking adult beverages and watch the tornadoes bounce across southern OK . Before I got there a tornado had completely taken out the Base Hospital. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
