I would add that if any of you haven't seen "Band Of Brothers" it's well worth making the effort to watch it. It will make you appreciate those guys and gals even more.

Along the same vein as this thread, I will share my experiences with LtCol Robert Friend in the future.
LtCol Friend was a member of the Tuskegee Airmen AND went on to head the Air Force PROJECT Bluebook program. Another remarkable person who succeeded despite tremendous adversity. One cannot help but be humbled in his presence. Rest in Peace LtCol Friend

So cool and thanks for sharing. It made me recall an encounter I had with an army Air Force vet I met at a historic air show the Hickory, NC airport about 10 years ago. If I remember correctly, he was a waist gunner on a B-24. I do recall him talking about Operation "Tidal Wave" aka "The Raid on Ploiesti". I had enough sense to record part of our encounter on my cell phone. I just need to find it amongst the stack of old phones in my closet.
