TONIGHT's Topic: "National Wrong Way Day!"
"In 1938, a young stunt pilot named Corrigan, enamored with Lindbergh's transatlantic flight, flew from California to New York with hopes of duplicating thesame flight. Once arriving in New York, he was denied permission for the flight due the age of his aircraft. He then planned to return to California the next day and took off in foul weather with only a magnetic compass.
When he finally cleared the clouds hours later, Corrigan realized he was over water and had gone the wrong direction. Undaunted, he continued and 28 hours later arrived and landed in Ireland, his original intention.
As veterans, we are often told we cannot achieve certain things due to our age or conditions, however, like Wrong Way Corrigan, it is still possible with the proper motivation, intentions, and desires, to surpass limitations and achieve so much more than expected.
What have you been told was a limitation that you surpassed without following the established landmarks and the hoops required and were still able to achieve as your goal? Today we celebrate doing things the wrong way and still coming up with an achievement that may be beyond all expectations." — Air Force Veteran Steven Bates
