I am so grateful to you for this website! It has helped me to finally find information on my grandfather, Lt. Earl Thomas Brown, who was the navigator on Jack's mission! I have been searching military records, etc. for a long time and still have only a few facts. I couldn't believe it when I saw your uncle was also killed on Aug 16, 1944 and was buried in Jefferson Barracks Cemetery (that is basically all I was going on). So your uncle and my grandfather are buried together there.

I do have a few items and a few pictures I would like to scan and contribute to this website. It is such a wonderful memorial to these heros. Please let me know how to go about that and I will be trying to gather a few things from my mother, Earl's daughter, Laura V. Brown. He died in August before she was born in February of 1945. Most all of the info that we don't have on paper (not much) died with my grandmother in 2001.

Thanks so much for letting me share his memory.

Sincerely,
