I would love to sit and listen to his stories for hours. True heroism.

A very good man with a wonderful ability to recall accurately what went on so long ago. These were the very best of men.

It's so good to hear these Veteran's of the air and their recounts and on this subject in particular (MOTA) almost eighty years after the fact.

Always amazed what a bunch of 20 year olds did. Greatest Generation!

I always like to believe that our current generation would still deliver if called upon. You could say that this man's generation was the one of which the most was asked.

Loved both of these videos. He reminds me a lot of my dad, an aircraft commander in the 451st Bomb Group, which was also in Italy.

I'm british and my great uncle John was killed on bomber ops on lancaster bombers. I met a few former bomber command men (unfortunately all gone now) and this bloke reminds me of them they were all such lovely people doing a horrible but essential job. I'd love to meet this man and talk to him about his experiences and just say thank you mate. Thank you so much.

I was just thinking about all the wonderful people I’ve met over the years. We were young then. Experiencing the gold that life offered in foreign lands or states. Strange places far away from home. We bonded for a time, often closer than our own family and siblings because of the unfamiliar, new and often scary surroundings. And then, at journey’s end, we, too, were gone. Poof! Never to see or be seen by one another, again. These fellow sojourners, these brothers of other mothers and sisters of other misters all gone. I remember how 99 year-old Al Couture of the 456th Bomb Group put it as his B-24 bomber crew hit U.S. soil after years away in combat. POOF! Like a flak burst. Everybody dispersed. Gone home to loved ones, lives, jobs. Never to be seen or heard from again.
