The story of the tail gunner is about my father in law and his brother they were in WW2 and survived it, there was so many that never came home after the war. They have seen so much they are hero's as all of our troops are, there just isn't that many of the WW2 veterans left that seen it first hand and  this story is just one of them. Told by the ones that were there.

  The video is composed by Gerald Ulmer a friend of mine his music can be found on YouTube  also on numberonemusic.com/bubbagroove  he has many songs there

  Here are a few photos of our trip to the 8th Air Force reunion there was somewhere around 300 to 400 there, it was a great time we went to the air and space museum, I have a few pictures on the {pictures} page. We met many new friends. We also went to an airshow and museum of WWII era.

     I wish to thank all veterans for their service for us all and wish you all the best. Thank you again !!!!
