An Officer.......
An officer never complains.
An officer never explains. And an officer never allows himself to be put on the defensive. Arthur Kramer 344th BG 494th BS England, France, Belgium, Holland, Germany Visit my WW II B-26 website at: http://www.coastcomp.com/artkramer |

"There are old pilots, and there are bold pilots; but there are NO old, bold pilots". I'll bet you've seen this one before eh?! "ArtKramr" wrote in message ... An officer never complains.

"ArtKramr" wrote in message ... An officer never complains. So we can assume you won't be voting for Kerry, who was still on the roles as a reserve officer when he did all of his complaining. An officer never explains. Ridiculous. Check out the difference between task-based orders and mission-based orders; no modern officer worth his salt would deny the value of the "commander's intent" statement and its explanation of the underlying philosophy of successfully concluding the operation. And an officer never allows himself to be put on the defensive. What in the hell is *that* supposed to mean? Brooks Arthur Kramer |

Art, did you know Al Briggs in the 344th? I am wondering if he is still with
us or not. We had a conversation once about a "Flak Hotel" and he gave me some photos of the place - he said his crew was sent there for a short rest after a particularly difficult mission but never gave me any details. Wondering if you are in contact with him? v/r Gordon ====(A+C==== USN SAR Donate your memories - write a note on the back and send your old photos to a reputable museum, don't take them with you when you're gone. |

Wondering if you are in contact with him? v/r Gordon ====(A+C==== USN SAR The name does have a very familiar ring. First I will check the casualty list.If he isn't on it I will then go to the Membership list of the 344th Bomb Group association. If he's not on it I'll cal the headquarters of the 344th and make inquiries there.. BTW, do you know what squadron he was in or who he flew with? Was it the flak hotel in Stansted, Pontoise or Florennes? That info can be useful. At any rate I'll get back to you as soon as I know anything We must never forget absent friends. I get nervous when somone aske me a question about a familiar name that I can't quite place. I am always afraid I'll find it one the casualty list. So I look there last.
