[NSRCA-discussion] Off topic, but worth while - Uncle Jack

Keith:

 My dad served in the infantry with Patton but three of my uncles flew in WW2. One flew B-25's, one flew B-29's and my uncle Louis was the pilot in command of a  B-26 Marauder. Unfortunately, he was lost on his 36th (of 37 missions) over Sicily on January 1944 (at the age of 24). His plane had a fire in the bomb bay while on the run to the target and then took a direct flack hit in the #1 (left) engine. Only two crew members made it out. For his actions he received the Distinguished Flying Cross.

I am very proud and greatful for all that the Greatest Generation did to preserve our freedom. 
 

Thanks for sharing, it was really great to watch it.
Ed

Amazing, I'm sure you're very proud of your father! I figured people
n this list would have personal connections to this story.
