75 years ago some boys were playing in a park in Sheffield, England. It was 1944 and a war was on. That day a B-17 bomber, nicknamed “Mi Amigo” crashed killing all onboard. The pilot had steered his stricken aircraft to avoid killing the boys in the park.
For 70 years one of those boys, Tony Foulds, kept the memory of those flyers alive by tending to their marker in Endcliffe Park.
Today, members of the RAF and USAF returned the honor by conducting a flyby for Mr. Foulds. Here
…we had such MEN once…brave, noble, dutiful, loyal…
…what the hell happened to us…
…Thank God that we had them THEN, or just think where we’d be NOW…
And a genuine salute to Mr. Tony Foulds!
Crap! got something in my eyes……
“Speaking the truth in times of universal deceit is a revolutionary act.” Geo. Orwell
…and now Muslims will use it to graze their goats.
…we can mourn the loss of England along with that of Mr. Foulds. At least he doesn’t have to watch his once-proud Nation sink completely into a failed Shari’a state now…
Touching. Thank you for your service all these years Mr. Foulds.
The world will miss people like Mr. Foulds.
What those young Americans did is nothing more than what any of us would hope we would do.
The best heroes sacrificed everything to ensure our freedoms.
Their sacrifices are unknown and unacknowledged by most young people today. Consider those little shitmeisters Ariana Grande, Cirely Myrus, and Peter Davidson. I bet they are clueless about how they came to have such freedoms. Without knowing what they have, they’ll toss it all aside because, you know, socialism.
It’s nice to see the recognition for their sacrifice just like so many others during that war that most have never heard about. Thank you Mr. Foulds for your dedication.
Wow. I have a gut feeling that there are still remnants in UK that can wrestle civility back into their lives. I hope it is correct.
I so much appreciate that we have been blessed with men who fear God, love their country and are willing to sacrifice their lives for our freedom. I will carry that forward, but I do fear the like minded numbers are dwindling
” Crap! got something in my eyes…… ”
Me, too. It’s very dusty in here.
Great story. Thanks. Liberals will hate it.
Prayers for those airmen, and thank you to Mr. Foulds for tending their memorial so that others can understand their sacrifice.
Side note:
Think of what America would be like if all those young, brave souls who perished while protecting us over the years had lived full lives and raised families of like minded people.
Sometimes I believe the elite create wars so patriotic threats to their existence are minimized.
They actually used an Osprey? Were they hoping to recreate the crash? Christ
I lived just a few miles down the road from the American Cemetery near Cambridge in 1975 while I was stationed in England. I used to go there often to reflect. It is without doubt the most moving place I have ever been. I would simply walk slowly down the rows of grave markers with watery eyes. I never went there without that happening. I was last there in 2011 and the same thing happened. I never go to England without making a stop by there. Very humbling.
Good stuff. 🇬🇧
