How can we thank them enough? 


We can never thank them enough......

Link to article on my step-father, Robert Harwell.  69 missions over Germany.....enough thanks?  No way.....thanks to Jimmy's Dad, Robert and all the WWII era fighters.  Long live your memory and example.

By the way, the middle book in the picture below is the one he wrote recalling his history from flight school to the end of WWII.  There is a copy in the archives at Maxwell Air Force Base in Montgomery and the library of Congress.

Very cool read, thanks for sharing. I love reading about the old "real" men for old. He turned down a purple heart because he figured they were just scratches and he didn't deserve one.....that is a "real" man.

Was going through a box of stuff my Dad left on earth. Found some neat shots.

Thanks for sharing 2k. There is no way to ever repay, and people have forgotten what they gave us. You and I picking back and forth about football, or the ability to jump on our bike and run up and down the road we owe to them. Wife works for the National Cemetery Association, and at least weekly she will come home with tears in her eyes as the storys of our vets are told at their services
