My dad was of the 5th AF, 90th BG, 320th SQ.

I found out the original book sold for $400 and my dad couldn't afford it, and wanted one bad.

I found a copy of one, in the Smithonian, in DC, for $50.00 and presented it to him in 1997 after having been to the "Promises Keepers" convention at the Mall.
My dad , O.H Harris Sr, has been in the New Veterans Home in Norman, Oklahoma, for the past few years.
