Not the best copy but this relic shows the stops of my father-in-law during World War II. Of particular note is where he was in June 1944: Omaha Beach immediately after the horrific landing. His name was Osburn Adkins of Midkiff, West Virginia.
In addition, this Veterans Day also reminds me of my father’s service during the war in the Coast Guard.
Not to be forgotten was my Uncle Ivan (Van) Wunderlich, who volunteered for the most dangerous job of ball turret gunner on the B-17. No doubt, he was one of the greatest men I’ve ever known.
I salute all that have given a part of themselves to insure we all have the freedoms we sometimes take for granted.
