R.I.P. Everyday Hero

Dear friend of this blog, Sippican Cottage, reposted a lovely tribute to his father, a ball gunner from World War II. His father, an everyday hero, passed away on March 1, 2009 after 80+ years doing what he was supposed to do. We mourn with our friends in the Swamp and know that the dignity, the daily heroism and the honor of the father was definitely inherited by the son.

What a great post by your friend, Sippican. I was a little confused as it says (2006) on Sippican's post so I wasn't sure when his dad died, but your post explained it.

How cool for this Modern Hero to want to see a plane for the last time.

Simply amazing.

Thank you for sharing.

Peggy :)
