We shared a bond as USAF veterans as well as father/daughter. Sadly, he passed away in 2007 from Alzhiemers, his final years in the care of his loving wife, instead of the retirement they had dreamed of. Thru his service and his ministry, he served the world. God bless our Military and I love & salute my Dad. |

| This was my father. At home he was gentle, loving and never talked about work. At a very young age I knew he was in the military so to my very linear straightforward thinking I said "The President is commander in chief, so my daddy works for the president." And this is what I told my second grade teacher, who was highly astounded! |

I honor him and all the brave men, especially those that were up in the "Flying Fortresses", for their humility, and their courage, and they will NEVER be forgotten as long as I am alive.

Eugene Everling
(San Antonio, TX)
|
| Tribute left by: |
Paul Everling (San Antonio, TX) |
| My Dad was a true American hero and loved by so many. He never bragged of his exploits or medals. He always shrugged off any attempt to idealize the war or his tribulations. It wasn't until his passing that all was revealed. Of the most amazing, I found it so humbling that he was one of the few survivors of the first men that stormed the beaches of Normandy. Just looking at his old pictures, you can see how loved he was, even then, by the other men he served with. |

(Orange Park, FL)
|
| Tribute left by: |
Randall Karle (Palatka, FL) |
| My father taught me, through his long years of dedication, that honor and service to our nation are goals, not empty slogans. He taught me that it takes a special person to place himself, "between his loved home and the war's desolation." He taught me that anyone who has so served is changed -- transformed forever into a citizen who understands to the depth of his soul what it means to be an American. But even more importantly, that because of such persons, America endures. |

|
| Tribute left by: |
Maureen Nalezny (Edina, MN) |
| I am honored to have worn Lt. Col. Finney's POW bracelet as a HS sophomore in Minneapolis in 1972. I still have it. After seeing a traveling exhibit, a wall of POW names, I realized that I owed it to "Tom" and to myself to discover the rest of his story. A brave man, from what I understand, he is now resting at Arlington Cemetery. How fitting that I would seek his story out today -- the day before what would have been his 80th birthday. Love to his family from a loyal fan. |

| Tribute left by: |
Jerome Lutin (Holland, PA) |
| Burton Ross, my deceased cousin, flew as a tail gunner on B-24's in WWII. As a kid, I spent hours looking at his photos and souvenirs when we visited his house. Flying missions through flak and fighters over Germany was a terrifying experience, but he did it and kept going back for more. Very young, he left high school before graduating, and his diploma was mailed to him. After the war, he worked, returned to school, earning both a BA and MA, married and raised a family. He was a true hero. |

| My father served for 28 years, starting in the Army Air Corps, there for the birth of the Air Force- WWII, Korea, and Viet Nam. He loved to fly and was an IP for several aircraft. He even liked to hum the A.F. song: "They took the blue from the sky, and a pretty girl's eye, and a bit of old Glory too"... I never heard him say anything negative about his country or the Air Force- He served proudly. |

Lorene Hodge Schneider (Spring, TX) |
| My Dad joined the Army Air Forces in 1942. He completed his Cadet training at Roswell, N.M., then traveled to North Africa. He later served in the invasion of Italy. Dad was recalled in 1952 to Strategic Air command (SAC) and flew all over the world.
Between stints in the service, he became a pilot for Continental Airlines. He captained for 35 years.
He had two loves in his life, my mother and flying. He passed away on May 27, 2008. He was admired and loved by many. |
