| Thoughts on the 58th Bomb Wing: |
|
There was no option in my mind but to enter the service. The experiences with a brand new airplane and great crews are good to remember. Those of us who were fortunate enough to survive the war hold the memories of friends we left behind in our minds and hearts.
