Ok Memorial day story here
If I tell this story correct it should be a Kleenex alert
OK My father was A WWII bomber Pilot in the south pacific, he flew many different planes BUT his baby was the SBD Dauntless
about 10 years ago my parents came for one of there yearly visits. And we decided to go to the coast.... I had heard that this new airplane museum was being built. So what better time then with my dad to go there.
We stepped inside these old wooden zeppelin hangers and there were about 50 airplanes, all different ages......but mostly from the WWII era. What a day, my father and my son (who is now in the navy ) held hands and walked up and down every row looking at all of these planes. Every time my dad saw one he had flown he told us all about it. We were about ready to leave when the older gentleman at the counter asked my dad if he was a veteran? I piped up...... yes and he flew some of those kinds of planes. "oh so you were a pilot what did you fly" My dad responded The SBD Dauntless. The gentleman got a big smile on his face and said boy do I have a surprise for you......... He asked us to follow him and told us they had just gotten this plane in and was starting the restoration on it. He swung these large bay doors open and my dad's eyes got real big. There stood this old beaten up SBD Dauntless. The gentleman says "hey fellows this guy can help you answer all your questions about this baby" pointing to my dad.
My dad a 75 year old man almost ran to that plane, ran his hands over it slowly, almost caressing it, I saw a tear in my dads eyes....something as a Marines daughter I had never seen before. He walked around and around that plane. We stayed another 3 hours while my dad talked to the mechanics, and climbed up on that plane ( with my mother saying "Walter you be careful up there" ) He had the time of his life, I could see it in his face. That was the last time my father visited us in Oregon as he had Cancer and passed away about 9 months after that. What a memorial day that was ..........
