Roger, I also toasted with a shot of gin in honor of Lt. Bray tonight. My father, then 2nd Lt. B-17 co-pilot, Donnell Marsh was shot down on 29 November, 1943 on a mission over Bremen. He was with the 303 Bomb Group, 360th Bomber Squadron flying from Molesworth, England. He also ended up in Stalag Luft I for the duration. He stayed in the Air Force as a T-33 instructor, F-86 and F-100 pilot and retired in 1962. He is now 91 years old and still has the eagle eyes of a pilot - but he needs large print books to prove it!
Amazing times and amazing men. Sadly, we are losing thousands of them every day.
Blessing for all of our soldiers, then and now.
