Great job Fred. My father was a WWII veteran and fought in the Battle of Bulge. He spent Christmas of 1944 in the freezing snows of Belgium. In an oral history, a member of his anti-aircraft battery told the story of how they had to go to the makeshift morgue to get extra clothing so they wouldn't freeze to death. My father never told those stories or about seeing the concentration camps or the cost of taking the beaches on D-Day. This history is not taught and is being forgotten

Tom, big thanks to your dad for his service. His experiences sound as remarkable as any I’ve ever heard. I’ve written more extensively of Frank Corbi in my aviation memoir American Sky. These men and women must never be forgotten.
