The guys were lucky to have Les on their side.

[Gingeronymous]

I think so too! Thanks for watching, Marianne. :)

Looking forward to hearing more. This was too short.

[Gingeronymous]

It feels short to me, too. I wish I could ask him more about it... he changed to a different story on the tape after that. Thank you for watching, Vern. :)

Another fascinating story! I love Les' memory for detail, as well as his insight. He's remarkable to listen to. Thanks, as always, for sharing him.

I'm also fascinated by those things. I sure miss him. Thanks for watching, Moosie. :)

[anmoose]

I know well the feeling these days. He's missed, and yet in ways he's still here. These clips are reminders, of who he was, and who he still is.

And who he'll always be...

[Gingeronymous]

Thank you, Justin! :)

[dancingsprite]

you'd think a democracy would be more fair than that to those who make such sacrifices of their lives :/

[Gingeronymous]

If only it was so. Thanks for stopping by, dancingsprite! :)

Very interesting.. I'd thought all be treated the same.. I think it used to be 25 missions in the 8th AirForce as well, then they upped it to 30 or 35, as the danger of the Luftwaffe became less and less.. They still had to put up with the flak, though.. :P

[Gingeronymous]

Yes, they must have taken a lot of flak! :-D Thanks for watching, Rob.:)
