Seafoam65 Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 That was awesome! Thanks for sharing. My Dad was a side gunner on the B-29 "Inspiration" in the 73rd Bomb Wing on Saipan and flew many bombing missions over Tokyo. He is still going at age 98. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JZRIV Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 Wonderful video Gene and thank you for posting. Wife and I watched several Band of Brothers episodes on Memorial Day so this kind of made it full circle listening to the details brought out in video relative to the movie and his life. I remember meeting your dad in the 90s and seeing him often at the meets. Regretfully at that time I had no idea what he had been through until the movie came out at which time I was stunned to learn about his story. Great respect Gene for you and your dad. See you soon! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dship Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 Gene, that was an awesome video. Thanks for sharing. My uncle Carmine Coletti was there as part of Patton's 3rd Army and was killed there....my mother's only brother. My dad was career Navy ('36-'66) and a Pearl Harbor survivor on board the battleship Oklahoma. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
