This is a picture of the Fiorette Crew In March of 44. On April 13th 1944, 4 of these men would die in an attack by ME109's on their B17 "Mrs Geezil" while on a mission to bomb the Schweinfurt ball bearing factories .
They are

Bottom Right-TSgt Walter Stuhl,Top Turret
Bottom 2nd from left-TSgt Charles Eyre-Ball Turret


This is a list of all the men from the 384th Bomb Group who also made the ultimate sacrifice that day.



This is one of my friends who was a Air Traffic Control Radar Tech, Who found out that EOD was making BIG money and wanted some of it. The true price was he gave his life in service to our Great Country.
Miss Your smile Buddy.

Went to the cemetery of McClelland's second line. Battle of Seven Pines yesterday

Takes a hell of a man to stand in a line and get fired upon with no cover

I've had this photo for some time in my files, I think it's appropriate to post it here.

I went to our local cemetery today for the Memorial day flag ceremony
and the reading of the roll call of our vets buried there. I go to honor my
friend and neighbor for 30 years TSGT Owen Mobley (3rd Army ww2)
and Airman Jeffery Anderson. One of my best friends during high school who
died in a car accident while home on leave on the night of his 21st birthday.
RIP my friends.
