There is now a small airfield just south of Luverne named after him, and it has one of two parachute drop zones in the state of Minnesota there. A nice field and a fine tribute to a great man.

He had a quiet and gentle voice, and the heart of a lion.
Our country is diminished by his passing.

Look up "A Fighter Pilot's Story," also about Aanenson and really a lot better than Burns, as I recall. It's just gripping, and he really talks openly and plainly about the horrors of war and ground attack in particular.
What a guy. Rest in peace.

God bless him, and his family. What a great story and I’m glad it was told after all these years. An everyday man doing incredible things - a true American hero and patriot.

As a kid, these WWII guys were my heros.
It seems like a much different place now that they've passed.
