Two special guests joined the group at the MAPS Air Museum: a pair of veterans who flew in B-26s during World War II.
Stan Walsh, a 100-year-old veteran from California, said, “The B-26 had a personality all its own.”“I loved it… I get very excited when I see a B-26,” Raschke said
Both men had waves of memories coming back in the hangar. They told stories, and Raschke even wore his original bomber jacket from the war.Walsh signed his name on the underbelly of the B-26 at the museum, remembering his service, saying, “Of course, if the bombs got hung up, I’d have to come back and kick them free…”
The veterans both say they’re proud of their service and proud to have answered the call so many years ago.News 5 Now Evening Download the News 5 Cleveland app now for more stories from us, plus alerts on major news, the latest weather forecast, traffic information and much more.
