There is a kindred spirt in all relatives of the 353 fighter group including Don Barbers Uncle with the 352nd fighter squadron and my Uncle Harry Milligan with the 351st fighter squadron. Perhaps they not only knew each other but also flew together. Unbelivable courage, dedication, and for lack of a better word "guts" for a bunch of 20, 21, or 22 year old men. Its hard to think of facing possible death on a daily basis like these men did. As Don would say, "it boggles the mind to think of what these men went through. Its nice to see that Don has continued this dedication in his 352nd fighter squadron web site. Take some time to travel through the site. It is truly an awesome production.
