I have met Glenn Harrison. He is 99 and of good mind. He is a true Patriot.

If Mr. Harrison is still alive, I would love to connect Terrell Rogers’ sons with him. Terrell was Glenn’s tail gunner on both the ditching of Wildfire II in the channel and on the fateful 20 June 44 raid. Unfortunately, Terrell died in 2004.
