Thank you. I was thinking about your father's B-17 missions. Boy, that was hazardous duty. Those guys had guts. You can be just as proud.

My dad and I were talking about that when he and my mom were visiting. He said that over half of the B-17 crews were shot down during the war. He also said that he was just 20-21 years old at the time, and was as stupid as most kids that age. I guess that's why the young guys fight the wars, for the most part.
