We have some people here who assume the role of "posting Police" and others who have fun at new comers' expense(Been guilty of that myself). I wouldn't worry too much about them.

Welcome to FR.

What format are your pictures in? I'm assuming they're on your hard drive.

Hello,

On this page:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/vetscor/830308/posts

You have this text:

“Four aircraft were lost to flak, one of them piloted by 21-year-old 2d Lt. Lloyd H. Hughes, who was on his fifth combat mission.”

That pilot was Lloyd Herbert Hughes, known to family and friends as Pete. He was my Uncle Pete. He was 22 when he died, not 21 years old per your post.

Would you please correct your post? If it is a quote from another source, would you please add a foot note stating that the other source is in error?

Thank you for helping me correct errors about my Uncle Pete.
