From a former Naval Aviator (1971-1977), a big salute! I sure hate we are losing these valuable and noble older individuals who are my parent's age. There will never be any more like them, that is for sure. God Bless and Be With You!

Thank you Sir for your service and dedication to our great country.

I too have a father that served during WWII although in the Merchant Marines, and he served in three theaters of action, Pacific, North Atlantic, and Africa. Not a small feat.

He like most of those from that era doesn't talk about it, but during the holidays he opened up just a little (after years of prompting from my brothers and I) in front of my 23 y/o son, after which I told him he needs to record his life history (for the 1000th time) in some fashion so my son's children now of him, before he passes on.
