Special present, special 4th
Marcia went to a family get together in Ohio a couple weeks ago and received a special gift from an aunt. One of her uncles was a P47 pilot in WW2. Captain Walter K. Fisher KIA in May 1945 after collision with a German fighter.
We didn't know that he had received an earlier Purple Heart after being shot down/injured. Her aunt wanted us to have it. Marcia argued that someone else in the family(large) might want it. He indicated that no one but Jack seemed to care and she wanted us to have it.
His other Purple Heart remains in the family. His other medals including DFC and Silver star as I recall were stolen from his father during a home invasion in the 1960's.
His Purple Heart is very special to me and we do care.
Also picture of him in his PT19
