Event: True WW II stories from local Veterans
Why: In time for Memorial Day remembrance, supplement History curriculum
When: Monday, May 14th at 10:30 am
Where: South Windsor Public Library, Childrens Program Room
Members of the Army Air Force Roundtable will be giving a presentation and taking questions from all interested. They come with stories of flying bombing missions over Iwo Jima, to liberating France. These former pilots will speak about flying the B-26, and B-24 planes. If we are lucky enough, a veteran age 92 years old will come and tell his story! One of these heroes is being honored in May at West Point for his help with the liberation of France from the Germans. These men will speak for 45 minutes to an hour max. They request and hope for questions.
