During the American Heritage Tour I took with Raegan, we had the opportunity to visit Arlington Cemetery. Almost by small miracle, I stumbled onto a monument dedicated to my dad’s bomb group. The “Vulgar Vultures” of the 455th Bomb Group Heavy (743rd Squadron).
While walking back to the bus, I just happened to look off to the side of the path and saw an image of a B-24 which caught my eye. Naturally, I stopped for a closer look only to find that it was a monument to the 455th. A Pin Oak has been planted as part of the monument.

It's a wonder I saw it!
