Part 2 link below. Since I’m unable to be on the motorcycle for now (*sigh*)... I was rooting around on my hard drive for a video I thought I had saved years ago - couldn’t find it, but I did find something else long-lost:... (from memory & what I’ve heard:...) Back on January 16, 1991, my mom (a stay-at-home mom at the time - boy, those were the days!) was watching CBS Television (the go-to network for news back then) while doing some housework. While she was in front of the TV, CBS interrupted their regular programing for breaking news. The White House was just about to announce the beginning of Operation Desert Storm, . the Gulf War - a bit expected by the news agencies but still unexpected at the time. J
