ReplyDeleteVery nice post, Kat~ my own father was in the Air Force for 21 years.
ReplyDeleteGreat post Kat, my father's brother died in WWII, on D-day. He was a paratrooper stationed in England. Ironically, his ankle was broken and he was recovering in England when the a general came in and said "if there is anyone who is well enough, we need every man for a special mission". Of course, there were already rumors of an imminent invasion, somewhere.
ReplyDeleteMy uncle Sam,with a (newly broken ankle) said "I can go!" He was so patriotic and brave. His letters are filled with love for his family and country, the last one arrived after he was declared missing in action. Sadly, his plane was shot down on route to the invasion. The town he was stationed with loved these brave Americans and actually have a memorial set up for those that died that day. It seems he was a musician and often played the "horn" with a band for the locals when off duty!
Several years ago we found an elderly gentlemen who remembered him and gave us photos of the plane crash site, it was chilling. Even more so, when his younger brother was shown the memorial with Salvatore Laferrera's name on it. His remains are buried in Normandy.
