You are welcome.
Long-held, heartfelt, USAF salute...
A fitting end for a warrior. We will always need men of this caliber. Don’t see to many of them in our future thought.
We have no idea what that generation did for America. My adult next door neighbor growing up in Baton Rouge never talked about the war. I found out later he was a lead pilot in the 303rd Bomber Squadron in the 8th Air force. He completed his 25 missions over nazi Germany and brought his entire crew home safely. I have his wings which I covet as a treasured possession. My dad was an aviation mechanic on the USS Enterprise (CV 7) in the Pacific. They just went on with their lives and we never knew what they had been through and had done for us. I salute this gentleman and his incredible service for this country
