AN OPEN LETTER FROM THE EDITOR
OF THE MEN OF THE 57^th 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 57^th 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 57^th 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 57^th Bomb Wing.

The “Men of the 57^th” 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!

Many of you have treasure stores of material which you share on the internet. But you can share more if you join your ‘fathers’ organization. Your sharing and support will assure the future of which will soon become your organization.

You have a rich heritage. Accept it.  Join the Men of the 57^th Bomb Wing Association today!
