Thank you!

I am touched by your story.

My father was a pilot during WW2. He flew B-29's out of Guam, and literally was one of the last pilots to return from a mission at the end of the war. (He lost an engine coming back from a bombing mission, landed at Iwo Jima, and then came back the day after Japan announced it's surrender in 1945.)

My great Uncle served under MacArthur in the Pacific as a Catholic Chaplain in the Far East.

I am touched by your son's committment, and autograph.

May God speed your family, and all those who are serving, and those in harm's way.

God Bless!

Thanks for your families' service! My late uncle was a pilot in the Pacific too. We have a lot of letters from him that was so descriptive of battles. Fascinating!
