| Thoughts on the 58th Bomb Wing: |
| I can never forget the great friendships that I developed during my duty in CBI and Okinawa. Many of us were like brothers always looking out for each other. The emotional gamut that was scaled during a mission and prior to one made young boys into highly motivated and focused young men. |
