God bless him. Heroes walk among us, modest and unassuming. What a contrast to today. Happy Veterans Day all.

Why isn’t this man’s life yet a movie?

"The things we went through together," he said, as if that was all he could or even had to say.

I had an uncle who was in the raid on Ploesti. He was a waist gunner on a B-24. It was his most vivid memory of the war, but he didn't talk about it much. One of the few things he would relate was that they flew so low that they got corn stalks in their engines. He died about 15 years ago. I sure wish I could talk to him about it now. I contacted the son of the pilot, and his father (the pilot of my uncle's plane) said the same thing. My uncle's plane had to land in Cyprus because they were low on fuel and had been hit several times, but he made it through the mission.

Think about the courage of all the people involved in the rescue of this man after this daring mission--the villagers, the Yugoslavian resistance, and the British and American agents all risked their lives in this cause. He and his fellow airmen took the war to the Germans even after their planes were shot down! Something to remember on Veteran's Day.

This generation of heroes is dying out fast, The next generation of Korean Veterans is starting to die out also, and the Vietnam Veterans are growing older.

America has always had men who were heroes step into the void and keep our country strong, Our heroes today are cut from the same cloth only their numbers are fewer,and appreciation for their heroic service is dimming.

Our military is under attack not by foreign enemies, but enemies right here in the Government.
It has to stop or we will have no country.
God Bless all Veterans on this day-—and every day.

Amazing story. My eyes are all cloudy! Certainly, this shold be a movie.

I worked for a former bomber pilot [”I bombed the Hell out of Vienna!”] that was shot down over Yugoslavia. The partisans found him before the Nazis did. They moved him around for a week until a daring night time rescue flight was arranged to snatch him and some other downed pilots from a pitch-black field out in the boonies. He was the man that told me there are no atheists in foxholes.
