Baby Sweet
My Dad was John J Flanigan, pilot, completed 25 missions from 9/7/43 till 1/29/44. Dad got married to my Mom (Irma who passed in Dec 2017) and left for the War expecting their first child. He made it home to have 5 more children, I thank all of you and your families for what you’ve done to remember them and hope to add some volunteering to the foundation. The photo with my dad and I was a photoshop project that I did in the early 90’s when I saw the B17 at Danbury airport in CT. Dad was early 20’a with me at 40, he passed in 77 at 57 years.
