This video was created by Mike Baxter in honor of his father who served on the B-24 aircraft. I was honored to play on the sound track and wanted to share it.

What a great tribute. Thanks Mike for the song, Curt for the link and veterans everywhere who contributed so much of themselves, many their own lives, to the fight for freedom.

Mike hi-from the UK! Just wondered if your Dad flew from an airfield close to us in Devon, called Dunkeswell ? The USAF flew Liberators from here hunting U boats during WW11. The airfield canteen is still decorated with photographs of the crews
plus there are great paintings of the aircraft all over the place.

Well done to all those fantastic guys who helped preserve our freedom here in the UK.
