My beloved Uncle was a navigator on a B-24 in WWII. He is gone now, but I read all the letters he wrote to my Grandma. Of course he couldn't tell the family what he was doing, but I could tell from his letters that he was very home sick and that he was scared. Dad told me later what he did during the war and that he flew missions over Germany. I am sure he appreciated these 'little friends'.

The service of your uncle is appreciated. Yes, I have little doubt that he was scared. I can't imagine how anyone can avoid being fearful of so many unknowns. Your uncle is another one of our heros. Thanks for telling us about him.
