  • I am German. And I am into an application at the moment for Lufthansa to be a pilot. It´s my biggest dream. I can´t imagine doing anything else than flying in my life as a profession. And we, who we are living today can be so grateful that we are allowed to pursue our dreams in a peaceful time. I feel deeply reverent to people like him, who had to go through these times as well as my German ancestors to make peaceful times possible. Hopefully we will meet soon up in the sky!

  • We owe these individuals a debt that can never be re paid. Most of them just kids at the time.

    God bless them.

  • aaaw it brings tears to my eyes when WWII Pilot Veteran B-17 says "thank you people, thank you... from the bottom of my heart and if I say anymore, if I say anymore I'm gonna cry...and I've cried enough." where ever he is right now I wished him well and may God bless him here an earth and in heaven, for doing what you did best, World Peace and Our Freedom.

    Thank you all brave veterans. soy mexicano y los admiro profundamente.
