Please excuse "god" I meant "God". My shift key fails me from time to time and I missed it. Sorry.

They were brave young men. My father was co-pilot on a B-24 in Europe that was shot down on its 21st mission. I know they did not have the same war as the infantry, but when you talk to the survivors it took a lot of bravery that most of us would hope to have in the same circumstances.

We can only hope to be measured against such men and pray to be found worthy of acceptance by them.
