Default This memorial day rememeber the men you flew with.

We were formed up as a crew in 1943 in Shreveport LA. We all went overseas
togethter. We were the crew of "Willie The Wolf", K9J, a B-26 of the 344th Bomb
Group, 494th Bomb Squadron. We flew all or missions together. We were friends
and brothers in arms.Of our 6 man crew 4 are no longer with us. On this
Memorial Day I would like to refresh the memory of our absent friends:

1st Lt. Bob Monson Co-Pilot. (Boston).
S/Sgt Emilio Griego engineer tail gunner (New Mexico)
S/Sgt Bo Taylor radio waist gunner (Texas)
S/Sgt Bill Henderson Armament top turret gunner.(PA)
And as much a part of our crew as any man on it, the B-26 Willie the Wolf.

They will always rest well in our memories.
