i find the quote "i'm not a hero, just a survivor, all the heros are dead" extremely inspirational and sums up most of their attitudes pretty well, but the time is now to speak about their memories, before they're gone for good..............

The B-25 has always had a big place in the heart. My Uncle was KIA over Luzon ROP 19 May 45 in one. We really don't know much about what happened. Just that it was a training flight and another plane clipped his wing and they both went down. He saw combat action with the RCAF and the USAAF and was killed in a training flight.

That's a real shame. I hate hearing stories of guys killed in training after surviving combat.

The worst part about it is tha fact we really don't and most likely will never
know all the information about it. I tried to contact the government agencies involved with this stuff and have hit nothing but dead ends.

Did they recover his remains, ff? The reason I ask is because there is a guy right now in the Pacific looking for wrecks with remains to recover and return the remains to their families.
