 Sad news today. Very proud to say that I was fortunate enough to meet this man personally and have a short conversation, more than once, shake his hand, and give my thanks.

Another hero gone to his reward.  May he rest in peace.

  The impressive thing to me is 409 missions in three different conflicts! Definitely an inspiration.
     Rest In Peace,

Do I remember correctly? When the Tuskegee airmen accompanied the heavy bombers in daylight raids over Germany, no heavy bombers were lost? This happening in a segregated army. The Tuskegee airman an African American squadron.

Something like that. The Red Tails were really liked by the bomber crews because got in and stayed in the fight.

Things that matter, indeed.

I never met General McGee personally but I did have the privilege of meeting some of the airmen. They were always gentlemen and their patriotism was without question. Ed.
