Many of them never came home. Some did.
My uncle Rutherford was one who did not, shot down June 29, 1942, at age 31. He was a pilot officer in Bomber Command, 57 Sqdn and although the remains of he and his crew were never found he is memorialized on a plaque at the Runneymeade Memorial, Surrey, England. I was born just after the war and thus never met him but I also never forget him.
Tomorrow my wife is participating in the 25th anniversary memorial of her brother's death while serving in the Australian SAS.
Lest we forget.
I've thought a lot about this very thing. I think about guys like my dad who came home, started a family and now there are generations of us.
The story for the fellows who paid the ultimate sacrifice, had their stories stop there and then. There's no telling what could have been.
These guys are the most easily forgotten. Many thanks to your wife helping others to remember them.
