Another WWII vet gone..

[wch]

My neighbor passed away two days ago; he was an armorer in a B-24 squadron in the ETO; he told me that when the war ended he had a "footlocker full of 45 and 38 caliber pistols and revolvers" that had been signed for by aircrews that were lost on missions. He didn't know what to do with them, so he dumped the locker, guns and all, into a lake in Germany!

My wife's uncle gave me his aircrew issue 45 some years ago ..

My BIL's father also pasted the other day. He was a WWII tank man, landed D-Day plus 2 and went all the way to Germany.

God bless our heroes that were willing to give it all.
