I just wanted to say thank you! It has been my honor to get to reunite these vets, and their families with our B-17. I can honestly say that I now know why they refer to them as the "Greatest Generation". We archived over 500 photos and documented over 140 veterans stories. I will forever be proud of that. And remain thankful to all of those who helped make that happen.

It was an honor to play a small part in my neck of the woods.
