| Thoughts
about service in the 58th Bomb Wing: |
|
I have always appreciated serving in the military, being associated with so many like-minded individuals and making friends that will last a lifetime. Serving gave me opportunities to learn and do things that would never have happened otherwise.
I was personally congratulated by General Curtis E. LeMay for destroying a dry dock and floating dry dock at Singapore. This event was cited in official history of Army Air Forces in WWII. |
