This may seem like an unusual article for a Soldiers' website but, you've got to admit, this is an unusual group of Soldiers.
It's the story of artistry, craftsmanship, and the essence of what "Made in America" once meant.
It first ran in
The Atlantic Monthly in 1982. The airline I worked for at the time carried it as one of their inflight magazines. I'm not sure how it happened but, within a short period of time, it seemed that it had infected the LAX ticket agents, rampers, dispatchers, load controllers and the flight crews. It was a long article so no one was able to read it in one sitting so for several days the break room with filled with employees discussing It. The only other time I remember that happening was when Shogun aired on TV.
