At a Veteran's Day celebration, Ed has been asked to speak to a local citizens group
about American involvement in World War II. He begins his presentation like this:
From the time I was very young, I wanted to learn to fly.
My family was very poor and so flying lessons were out of the question.
But, when America became involved in the War, I immediately enlisted in
the Air Force. There I learned to fly and during the course of the war I
flew 56 bombing missions. I was honored to receive the Distinguished
Flying Cross, and it was an even greater privilege to have played a small
role in freeing those who had suffered at the hands of the Nazis.
