Allright, somebody’s got to get this one going so I will. Kind of sad when a thread about some WWII heroes, who had an incredibly dangerous but unheralded job get an article about them and no one discusses it. As with all Veterans, especially combat veterans, I salute them for their service.

I had the honor tonight, along with about 20 Boy Scouts to meet and hear some exploits of a B-25 bomber pilot. What incredible bravery.

And they didn’t even get airborne pay... I would rather jump than ride a plywood glider into an enemy held field...

My Uncle was a member of the 325th Glider Regiment that was a part of the 82nd Airborne....unfortunately he was one of the first casualties of the Regiment while they were in Africa prior to the drop over Sicily.
