AN OPEN LETTER FROM THE EDITOR
OF THE MEN OF
THE 57th BOMB WING
With the
advent of the Internet we have found the means to provide our members
and their families with a recorded history of the deeds of this great
bomb wing. I see more and more wonderful pictures, stories, and diaries
of those never to be forgotten days.
The
57th Bomb Wing Association puts out a magazine every
quarter and we will, we pray for some years to come. The journal,
newsletter, and magazine; call it what you will: provides the hard copy
records of the 57th Wing in action from North Africa to Italy , to Corsica and from the
Adriatic coast of Italy
where it completed its duty.
Now
our young sons and daughters, nieces, nephews, brothers, sisters,
grandchildren and great grandchildren have embraced the memories of
their loved ones and placed those histories on the Internet, and
providing loving memorials.
More
and more, I see this outpouring of love and respect for their
loved ones in this manner, and am deeply touched to know of their love
for family and country. The tributes make a heartwarming to those
privileged to read them.
Our
numbers are diminishing and along with that our publication is sent
out to fewer and fewer members and the replacements are not there. The
Wing will not live on unless more of you decide to join us and carry on
the history of the 57th Bomb Wing.
The
“Men of the 57th” is first hand history,
written, in most part, by those who served our country. Second hand
accounts are written by those who love the organization and are
Associate Members. None of what is written is
‘revisionist’ history. It happened! It is true! It is not
exaggerated!
