Happy Veterans Day

Today's veteran's day, a day we honor those whose have served this country. So today I just wanted to speak proudly of my two grandfathers, and my uncle Ricky who all served this country. I mentioned my grandpa Kamler a few months back when he was taken on an Honor Flight to see the WWII Memorial. He was a mechanic that served in Guam during WWII. I wish I knew more details to share aobut what years and such, but I haven't been a good student of my own family history.
My grandpa Wright flew in the B-17 Flying Fortress. I think the name of his plane was the Berlin Sleeper II, and he was stationed in parts of Europe and northern Africa. I know his crew flew in raids over Germany and France, and I know he recieved several medals, (and maybe if my dad sees this he will email me more specifics so I can put them here).









This is grandpa Kamler in his uniform...

This is the only picture I can find of grandpa Wright, he's the second from the left, standing in back. This picture appeared in Life magazine on Sept. 14,1942. The caption below it reads:

"Abbeville raiders included crew of the US Flying Fortress shown above after their return to England. Their attack on an important airfield helped immobilaize German planes over France during the Aug 19 Commando foray against Dieppe. These young men are good representatives of American flying personnel in England. They are well trained, daring and eager for a fight. Pictured below shows th accuracy of their high-level attack. "

Don't forget to keep those still serving in harms way in your prayers today...
