My dad flew B-29's out of Guam.

Participated in the last mission of the war.

I grew up around all these great men, and have always been thankful they were there when our country called them.

Blessings and thanks to your dad. My father passed away in 1981. I will always be grateful.

Mine passed in 2001 and two of his best friends, one who worked for him up until his death were POWs. His very best friend’s brother is still missing in that war.

My father also flew out of Guam on B-29’s. He was the Co-Pilot and said he was on Tinian when the bomb arrived,he said he had no idea what it was. He died in 1992 of ALS (Lou Gehrig disease).

I forgot like an idiot to thank you for recognizing my Dad.

Thank you so much and thank you so much for yours.

The weinies out there wouldn’t have free speech if it weren’t for them and sadly, they know it.
