Does this so-called "settlement" avoid revelations of names and/or no prosecutions, like a giant hush-job?
You know, I do not think so.
He started having seizures and Epileptic attacks from the service so imagine he didn’t fly.
In 1951 he had a seizure when fishing in a small boat and fell out of the boat and drowned.
I was not as fortunate as you to have him a long time, I was only 4 years old.
Mom was onshore with us kids and she couldn’t swim, we saw it all.
My Dad never went to reunions and only accepted government aid after he was 100 years old and really needed it.
I doubt any other airmen were at his celebration of life. Many church members and friends and neighbours and what family he had left in Ottawa were there. It was a remarkable outpouring of respect and affection.. Even daughters of neighbours and old friends of him and Mom, people we hadn’t seen nor heard of or from for over 50 years, showed up.
We’ve lived thousands of miles apart since I escaped Ottawa in 1972, though we visited mutually when we could. When he got ill last year I spent nearly two months at his bedside trying to take care of him, but it wasn’t really quality time, nor was I competent to give the type of help he needed (nursing, etc.). Fortunately we got him the care he needed in a Veterans’ long term facility and he lasted almost exactly one year more.
It still feels weird not phoning him every day.

Awesome.
I’m so sorry to hear your story, sweetiepiezer. That must have been awful!
Indeed, I’ve been very blessed.
Who is the bald guy?
There was a pro-Palestine rally in Birmingham on the 15th.
Balderdash! 😉 I am probably as old or older but I never give up. Not much I can accomplish but I have FR, email and especially prayer - and miniscule donations to the few places I hope will make a difference.
None of us are promised tomorrow, that is just a fact of life. So what? Kick that defeatist claim down the drain. WWG1WGA!! 👌😎
How tragic, I’m sorry your family had to suffer through this.

Wow, great story! Thanks for sharing it.
What are the common brand names?
She didn’t talk much about the war. I think she lost a lot of friends in the battle.
Mike Rogers always looked like he had the weight of the world on his shoulders with those sunken, tired eyes. It seems he DID.

mega donor Ken Griffin was spotted next to George W Bush.
A fly on the wall told me what was said:
“Well Ken, it’s not looking so good for Ron, what do we do now?”
