Hello!

[AVGWarhawk]

My Uncle was in the 410th. B-17 pilot. Shot down over Kiel Germany June 13th 1943 and perished. I have his wings in the box, three pictures. Two in dress uniform and one flight suit. Found a 48 star American flag. His casket flag is in Flushing NY Cemetary. It flys every 4th of July at the cemetary. I have a locket he sent my mom from England. A picture of him and my mom when she was a little girl. I got a Mighty 8th patch from the 410th group out in Washington State, a Mighty 8th lapel pin and a B-17 pin. I have the pictur of the B-17 Klo-Kay that he was shot down in. That is framed separately. It is all in the box. Looks great and my mother loves it. Much more to the story of my Uncle Charles (Chip as he is known). Things we had to fix just a few years ago concerning his headstone. That is a whole other story.

Great shadow box you have there!!!! Sometimes you wish you could turn back time and speak with those that were there but long since passed. Keep those family things and pass them down to your kids when the time comes. My two girls know more about their great uncle Chip then my own brothers and sister do.
