Each and every veteran is a true hero, IMO!! Dad did his part by flying 33 missions over Europe as a navigator in a B-17 bomber, including D-Day. He saw plenty of action and was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross, among other medals. What a man.....
So proud of him and ALL other veterans!!!
Sincere thanks for your service!

One last drag before another mission......
Not his normal seat!
Working his maps..... Doing his job!
The bombadier doing HIS job!
The view out of his window. B-17s flying in formation, off to drop their payloads!
His Distiguished Flying Cross (box) and his dog tags. Notice the little cross he had tied to his dog tags....... A true man of faith. (I got these as momentos when he passed away....)
