    I remember seeing "TEX" Hill on one of the Hist. channel shows about the "Flying Tigers". Great man, with a great sence of humor...The world is much worse-off, for the loss of both of these gentleman.. May they RIP...

    I met Tex Hill about 15 years ago at an air show in Tennessee. Very pleasant man, talked to me for a few minutes and signed my hat. [:(]

    A different Miami, but sad news nevertheless. May they all RIP.


    Iraqi missile shatters homecoming for Homestead mom
    Posted on Sat, Oct. 13,

    Raymond Clamens, 33, lost his wife, Lillian, 35, during mortar fire targeting her camp during her first deployment to Iraq. The couple have both served in the military.

    They met as soldiers, married as soldiers, raised a family as soldiers. And on Saturday, Raymond Clamens dealt with his wife Lillian's death in Iraq like a soldier.

    Lillian Clamens, 35, a staff sergeant in the U.S. Army Reserve, was killed during a rocket attack on the military's main base in Baghdad on Wednesday, just two days before she was supposed to end a yearlong tour and begin the journey back to her husband and three children in Homestead.

    Raymond Clamens, 33, expressed no anger, no bitterness. He didn't ask why.

    He called his wife of 10 years a hero, praising her commitment and sacrifice and talking about the pride she took, as a personnel clerk, in managing the massive administrative demands of the modern military.

    Lillian spent nearly half her life in the Army, but her deployment to Iraq last year was her first duty in a war zone.

    ''She was ready to go. She never shied away from it,'' he said. ``She really loved taking care of soldiers and their families.''
