God Bless the fallen heroes and the few still living.

I sat in Barnes and Noble on Sunday morning, picked up this book and read it for a couple hours. If you are a history buff and love this kind of stuff, I highly recommend it. I put it on my Christmas list.

My wife's father flew 20+ missions in the Pacific as a ball turret gunner. He was the guy who sat in a steel cage attached to the bottom of the plane and fired a machine gun. For added protection, he made his own "body armor" using tin cans and a rivet gun.

We went with him in 2005 to a WW2 Veterans event. Amazing to meet these people and hear their stories.

God bless them all.
