AN
OPEN LETTER FROM THE EDITOR 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.
You will receive 4 issues of the
Men of the 57th
each year. You will have hard copy memories to read and review and save
for
your children. MOST IMPORTANTLY YOU WILL PARTICIPATE, HOLD OFFICES, AND
PERPERTUATE THE ORGANIZATION. *A
yearly membership costs the
Wing, as each issue
requires approximately $3.00 an issue to print and mail. |
|||
|
ALWAYS REMEMBER 57th
Veterans, please send your stories and photos to Victor
Hancock. |
