A 30 DAY CHALLENGE IN MEMORY OF THE FLYING TIGERS

In the beginning of World War 2 the odds seemed dark for the United States after the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor.  It seemed that in most theaters the United States was caught time and again unprepared.  

This was except in one place, in China.  Here a handful of American Volunteers were not just holding their own, but beginning to turn the tide.  These men became legends and to this day are known by the name given to them, by the people of China.  They were The Flying Tigers, and were American Volunteers who served from November 1941 until July 3rd 1942, the next day they became part of the United States Army Air Force.

This is dedicated to those men and all veterans who have served and are serving defending their land.
