After having enlisted at 17 and out at 20, (65-68), 22 is such a young age.

Sad for some, but a relief for his surviving family and descendants.
Thanks, SC. As a military wife, mom, grandmom and widow, I appreciate the sacrifice he made for his country. RIP.

Think we would have learned after all this time to not play/participate in mass extermination events and be grist for the death mill. But we don’t.

Its a pun on the phrase “Mail Call”. Armed forces way of announcing “mail call” when the got a batch of mail/letters/packages for the men. The b24 men were “delivering the mail” (bombs) to the enemy.

Welcome home fellas, you’ve been missed.
Y’know, after 80 years in salt water I imagine dog tags and maybe some rubber items are the only things left.
Still, at least the family will know what happened to their brother,uncle or great uncle.

“more B-24 Liberators were manufactured than any other American bomber — more than 18,000 by the war’s end.”
18,000 of just one aircraft type in 4 years. Pity we are no longer capable of that.

Thanks SunkenCiv. Another hero returned home so he can finally rest in peace.

I think the number for the B17 was 12000.

I joined the USN at 20, 1971-1975. 1965-68 was a very scary time to be in. 1971-75, not so much.
For 1969 & 1970, my draft lottery numbers were in the three hundreds!
