I looked for a link to join this honorable group and this is the only way I found if this is right. I am a WW2 Army and Airforce vet joining in 1942 in school as an aviation cadet. I trained as a ball turret, B17 gunner and served as a maintenance chief and flight engineer in Germany and France. Happy to see and join this distiguished group of fellow vets.

Sir, you honor us. Thanks very much for doing the impossible task of being a ball turret gunner. I could not have done what you have, door gunner in a chopper was something I thought was pretty hairy but it pales to your accomplishment. Thank you for surviving and "welcome home". May all the rocks in your pan be yellow.
