Old Texas Farmer passed away

Daddy Died of congestive heart failure and heart attack October 12 at 1AM. Funeral is today with full military honor guard as is fitting a WWII Vet. He proudly severed his country as navigator in B24s back before there was an Air force, it was the Army Air Corp bombing Germany from their base in England. He retired with over 20 years and entered the work force with the Corp of Engineers after graduation from Texas A&M.

American lost a good American and his 5 sons and wife lost a father and husband. Texas lost a son.

No reply is necessary since I don't bother to check this board any more.

My daddy was a disabled WW1 vet and died in 1939 from service connected ailments. Gas and shrapnel along with extreme exposure etc. I was three years old. He left six children at home. Mother never remarried because she would have lost her meager pension from the VA.

Thanks Vetrans! Zane

And, he often talked of the French as a people he had no use for because the French of today wouldn't support anything the USA stood for. He always became angry when he thought of the lack of support of a people whom he had shed blood to help save from Hitler and of his friends buried there today.
