My great-uncle John David Burke, jr. was one of the waist gunners on this plane. He was only 20 years old when he flew this, his last mission.

Hello I live a few kilometres away from the crash site. I respect your great-uncle a lot and I just want you to know that there are still people here who remember the sacrifice.
