Valentine's Tale

Few people have the opportunity to pass on to those that follow what really happened in their lifetime. This is mine. Growing up in post-World War II times, I was raised to go to college, play all kinds of sports well, and become an all-around good citizen. In telling my story, I discovered that most, if not all, of my air force assignments and units no longer exist, meaning my children and grandchildren will have no idea what I went through in my lifetime except for what I have written here. I feel that this is not only my story, it's a history, as I lived it, from 1943 through 2016.
