Kyler, E. Guajardo was my grandfather’s brother.
My grandfather passed 2 years ago. He was 95.

Eddie McKnight was my uncle. He came to visit on his last furlough. I was so excited, because he brought a wood model of the B-17 and a red sweater with brass buttons. I was 6 years old. Thank you for the opportunity to share.
