Seriously! I find myself literally pulled into 'that place, that time'. Maybe because I fly so much these days - the literal impact of imagining that these servicemen - one of them being Herman, were in a plane; shooting at other planes, diving for cloud cover; manuevering to shoot at targets: other planes, ships, cities; engines on fire; almost out of fuel, taking on rounds of ammunition - the fortitude it took to keep the pace, day after day. It is no wonder that Herman has no desire to travel - he's done enough for all of us in his lifetime! War is hell - literally; and sad to think that this same scenario is being played out today, as we sit and read of Herman's adventure > 60 years ago; in Iraq. Thanks Pati, again for your work on this project. karen Pati – I can’t wait for the movie! Seriously! I find myself literally pulled into ‘that place, that time’.
