WWII Wee Willie Bomber and Crew
WWII Wee Willy Bomber was shot down over Berlin April 8, 1945 - just one month before the end of the war.
I recently did a video Benghazi No One Came. Putting together this video one of the stories that still today gives me chills is of a group of men from a great generation. They came together from all parts of this great country and you can see in this photo of the B-17 Wee Willy bomber and crew that they were so proud. Some might have had wives, girlfriends, daughters, sons. Then on April 8, 1945 the plane was shot down over Berlin, just one month before the end of the war. Maybe that’s the part that gives me the chills. The fact that there are these two photos; the crew and the loss of the crew. I myself don’t know any of these men personally. I’ve always know what Memorial Day was about but it wasn’t until I did the Benghazi tribute video that I really knew what it meant. So on this Memorial Day this one American wants to remember those that died fighting for our freedom. I just posted photos of my Uncles that fought in WWII and I realize that I’ve taken for granted freedom. Maybe this video will change one more person on this Memorial Day; I know it changed me. It matters to me! http://frankcrocco.com
