[QUOTE="D.R. Cattle, post: 286704, member: 19"] Grandpa left me some stuff when he passed on too. He was part of a B-17 bomber crew that flew from the same field as the Memphis Belle. I've got a Certificate of Appreciation from the President himself. Even though it was signed by William Clinton, still means quite a lot. Got a picture of him and the boys standing next to their plane with the ball turret and a chunk of the side completely blown out by German flack. They were bombing a railroad that was supplying Nazi forces. The old girl obviously brought them home. Needless to say it's one of my favorite airplanes along with the P-51 Mustang. The old feller wouldn't talk about his ordeal often, but I got a few sacred tidbits out of him. The molds that made those men are broken and gone. I salute them with all I'm worth. [/QUOTE]
