Just wanted to say thank you to all RC members who have served and protected our great country.
My father was a B-24 bomber pilot in WWII. He was awarded numerous medals including the Silver Star and Purple Heart. During the war the losses to the bomber crews was horrific, often reaching 10% or more for each mission. He was finally shot down on his 25th mission and spent 15 months in Stalag 1, a German prisoner of war camp. On Wikipedia, they have a picture of his plane, The Duchess, in the B-24 article.
My son did a video interview as a class project before he passed away in 2012. Him and all others who have served are my heros.
