His first mission was on D-Day and his last mission on Christmas Eve during the Battle of the Bulge. They were shot down. He was one of the three survivors. Three men stayed in the plane. Three others died trying to land. He said they had one training jump from 30′. He landed on a frozen field in Belgium. He injured his left ankle and couldn’t walk right for two years. He never asked for a penny of disability payments. He used the GI bill to become a physician. He had joined the Army when he was 17. I asked him why he went to War: We had to stop Hitler and I’m an American. He died at age 92; I respect the heck of him, he was a hundred times braver than me! I honor and respect all of our men and women risking their lives for our freedom and peace! The last page included is SECTION V: INSPECTION, MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION UNTIL PAGE 46.
