Your father-in-law helped build America to become the most powerful force for good in the world, both militarily and economically. May he RIP after a job well done.
I watched The Memphis Belle a few weeks ago. What a fine movie. They will all be gone soon (sniff).

Manning a ball turret had to be terrifying. Reading the poem “Death of the Ball Turret Gunner” at a very young age shocked me and made me suddenly aware that war was the romanticized thing I saw at the movies.
Good by to an incredibly brave man.

As a former Marine, it's a staggering statistic to realize that 8th USAAF KIA exceeded the total number of USMC KIA in the Pacific.

My dad was a ww2 vet also. He went to be with the Lord this past Feb 6, 2014. He was 93 years old. I loved him beyond words. Truly they were the Greatest Generation.

My uncle Lloyd probably knew him.
Lloyd was a navigator on a B-17 out of England and later, Benghazi.

My condolences to your wife and to you.
As for your father-in-law, it seems they made special men back then. I feel lessened by his death.

RIP. Thanks for sharing his story. It will truly be a sad day when the last WWII vet goes home. My great nephew’s name is August, he is 2 1/2, and likes to wear his long hair in a patriot’s ponytail. Let’s hope he stays on that path.

Condolences to your family. We lost my Father, a P-38 pilot based on Guam, December 4, 2012.
They will never be forgotten as they truly were the GREAT generation.
