God Bless all of our brave Sailors lost on that day...
One of my relatives was in the bowels of the Oklahoma.
Then my uncle killed in a B-17 crash in Mountain Home Idaho during training.
My dad an his crew 50 missions out of north Africa, two presidential citations.
Hornets nest over Gerbini July 5 1943
30 bombers shot down 50 fighters that had 100 missions or more under their belt, 8 possibles, thats over Sicily before the Invasion.
Black Thursday, second mission over Schwinfert, USA lost almost a third of its existing air force that day.
More of my family were p.o.w.s in Stalag 17.
14 of my family died on d day, all at one time, all from one city LST blown up by artillery shell, 14 gold stars all one day at same time, Holds the nation record i think. Ugh.
One brother killed on d day, body was never recovered, but his bible was, his bible was sent back to family by GI who found it on the beach.
Dead GIs sister runs the monument in bedford west VA that honors my 14 family members and others from that town that died in freeing the known world from slavery.
Now we can do no right, then we could do no wrong.
