RIP from the USofA and the son of a WW2 vet.
“Oh, I have slipped the surly bonds of earth ...” - John Gillespie Magee, Jr.
My Father,whose name is Otto, tried to join the RCAF in the early part of the War. As He had a Hernia, He was Disqualified, but was operated on by my Uncle, who was a renowned Surgeon in Canada. Both of my other Uncles served in the RCAF. One was a Pharmacist, and the other, an Instrument Maker.
My Mother, Evelyn, worked for the British Army, in Detroit.
