I have been researching like a man possesed since I learned of his service. I was already a WWII history buff so naturally I had keen interest in my Grandfathers service when I learned of it. He himself never spoke of it, not even when he would take me to the air and space museum or when he visited us here in Pensacola and we took him to the Naval Aviation museum.
On behalf of my family I want to thank you for keeping Grampa's plane in the air, I may not have been born if it wasnt for your service.
