The Greatest Generation

On Tuesday, Jan. 15, Ardith, Lynae and I visited with two couples of the Greatest Generation.  Floyd was in Germany after WWII was over as part of the occupying force.  Bob, on the other hand, was a gunner during the war.  He and the rest of his crew flew from England over Germany, dropping bombs.  On one mission, the plane was hit.  Fortunately, Bob had time to put his parachute on.  Unfortunately, he was captured and became a POW for a couple of months before the war was over.  In a few years, we will no longer have the opportunity to hear these stories firsthand, but let us never forget their sacrifice.
