That evening we had another interview to do. Another WWII vet from the 56th FG. This time after a long day I decided to sleep in the car as Zack did the interview. Little did I know I would send the local community watch into action as they thought I died in the car. True story. We then went over to the bomber and had dinner. After that great nap, I was hungry enough to eat my whole Bomber Burger!! The waitress is seen here giving me my award.
