Our chances of learning from the greatest generation are quickly running out. Each and every one a hero who deserves their memories to be held with respect, dignity and honor. As for you Uncle Trav, as usual you are too modest. You have an excellent reputation here on TC as an Urban Archeologist, but I was excited to see you put Alvins story here. For you are also a fine historian. With the hundreds of hours of research you did basically pre internet, I know the level of commitment you made to not only preserve his story but to end it. Because of you and you alone, the surviving members of his crew finally knew his fate. And because of you, those crew members traveled back to a foreign country and placed a fitting permanent memorial to his memory. Alvin could not have had a better memory keeper. You do your big sister proud. Sissy
