      I just happened to put my comment in and noticed your name. Dawn Taylor. Odd how I knew a girl by the same name, and the first time I commented, it showed up! I'm sure there's quite a few of them. Besides I'm willing you aren't from North Adams, Massachusetts. Have a good day lady.

    Ron, Thank you for this story. My Mother's cousin in WW2 was in the belly turret of a B-17, and wasn't as lucky as this man. He was shot down over the Pacific, and buried at sea. He has his name on a wall, in the U.S. Manila Military Cemetery in the Phillipines. Thank you for these stories to give recognition to "Our Great Generation" .

    Omg I have no clue what I’d be thinking about. I’ve heard of a lady who fell like 30,000 feet and survived. They said she had low blood pressure so that could’ve been why. And then hearing that he was hanging from a train station, if you’ve seen the longest day it reminds me of a paratrooper who got stuck at a church hanging there with his parachute. My grandpa in wwii was on a bomber when it started to go down. Next thing he knew it he was at one end of the runway all covered in ash and the plane was crashed at the other end. His guardian angel was at play there

    What an incredible story! Just goes to show ya that God doesn't always save the best for last, but he sure does listen when we pray. I'm thinking that maybe passing out might have been a blessing in disguise too because it could have helped soften the blow somewhat or at least enough to survive it. Either way I would call it a miracle from above. He even lived a pretty long life after such traumatic injuries done to his body. Just amazing! Love the snap, crackle, pop and the logo on the plane too! RIP Sir and thank you for your service. You definitely went above and beyond the call of duty
