      My father was in the US Army building landing fields in England and France during the War. Married my mother in England. I was born there in 46. One story he used to tell was the British pilots landing the planes all shot up and he used to say they were patched up with chewing gum and band-aids and back up they would go!!!
      HEROS ALL!!!!
      Great Postings!!!

      Thanks for posting! Fantastic history of horrific times.
      I read an account of the fabulous brooch and it’s secret presentation not too long ago.

      Yougottahavestuff, that’s great family history; it’s so important to keep those stories alive.
