Thoughts
about service in the 58th Bomb Wing:
I am proud to have been a participant in the WWII activities of the 58th Bomb Wing. One of the most important things in the service was forming great close friendships that have endured through the years.
Being a Japanese POW was probably the worst experience of my life!
