Funny, that stuck out in my head, too. Can you imagine how dog tired they must have been after their last flight, then to insist they wanted to turn around and go back out?
Just amazing...
My apologies. I forgot to mention about your dad and the picture you posted. Tremendous. He sounded like one heck of a father. I know you are as proud of your father as I am of mine.
Cheers to these great men. They served with honor, distinction and humility. We were blessed to have such fathers.
