Comments: DEAR CINDY
WE HAVE HAD CORRESPONDENCE BEFORE REGARDING THE ABSENCE OF THE DUTIES OF THE GROUND PERSONEL OF THE IOOTH BOMB GROUP BUT EVEN THE NOTICE OF THE MINI REUNION IN PALM SPRINGS IGNORESTHEM. WE RECENTLY HAD A B17 AND A B24 FLY TO TEMECULA FOR DISPLAY AND HOPEFULLY TO ATTRACT REMAINING WW11 AIRFORCE VETERANS BUT THE RANKS WERE VERY SMALL. WHEN THE SCHOOLS IN SOUTHWEST RIVERSIDE COUNTY CALIFORNIA HELD LOCAL SCHOOL REUNIONS ONLY A HANDFUL WERE ABLE TO ATTEND.EVEN SO IT SEEMED THAT VISITORS WERE ONLY INTERESTED IN THE PILOTS OF AIRCRAFT. AT THE TEMECULA CA. AIRPORT DISPLAY WE HAD PEOPLE FROM THE MEDIA AND THEY WOULD NOT INTERVIEW GROUNDCREW MEN BUT ONLY PILOTS. THERE WERE SEVERAL OF US THERE AND WE WERE HURT AN D FELT INSULTED. NOT MUCH HAS CHANGED IN 60 YEARS EXCEPT THAT WE OF THE GROUND CREW KNOW WHAT WE DID AND ARE VERY PROUD OF THE JOB THAT WE DID. IF NOT FOR US THOSE PLANES WOULD NOT HAVE TAKEN OFF AND THE WORLD BE DIFFERENT TODAY. I WAS THE COMMUNICATION CREW CHIEF OF THE 349TH SQUADRON AND I DONT HAVE TO HAVE RENUNIONS TO GO TO AND BRAG . I KNOW WHAT MY MEN AND I DID AND I AM VERY PROUD OF EACH AND EVERY ONE OF THEM. I WILL NOT BE AT PALM SPRINGS BECAUSE AT LONG BEACH I WAS TOLD THAT ONLY AIRMEN WERE WELCOME.OUR RANKS ARE THINNING FAST BUT I WILL ALWAYS BE VERY PROUD THAT I WAS PART OF THE BLOODY 100TH
