Really Bummed out here..
A Dear life long friend has passed..
Little Red (Lester) was a belly turret Gunner on B-17's over Europe..
Was badly wounded and returned to finish the war in B-29's..

When I returned home from the Army He was one of the men awaiting me..
He told me How very proud of me he was..
(This was when others were asking how many babies I killed, or were spitting on me)

To have Red with His service record and friendship this made it all worth while having a great man like Him to say this was, was something I have never forgotten.. ..
He was a Wonderful man, Little Red, was anything but Little in His Heart..
One of the men I admired and are Grateful for..

God Bless you My Friend,
A true member of the Greatest Generation..
A Sad Hobbit

Sorry for your loss, HH. We're slowly losing the Greatest Generation as time goes by; and their wisdom, experiences, and lives will be missed by all.
