My Uncle Rick Regan (Dick) Winn was the Top Gunner on this flight and buried in the cemetery. It is said that Grandpa was not the same after loosing his first born Son of five boys whom all but one served during this war. Thank you to all whom captured the history and memory of those who gave their lives so I sleep safe at night. Thank you.
