Posted by Abby Normal Well written article! It's nice to read an article like this were the author doesn't try to sensationalize, but rather tells an accurate story of a man who lost his life in the service of his country. It turns out the the crash site is just a couple of miles from I mine where I spend a week or more at every year. Next trip I'm going to have to try to find the site and drink a cold one in honor of Walt. I'm proud to have been able to participate in one of the Beer Command's commemoration placements. Junkyard has placed a number of these monuments. These men were the unknown heros of their time. Abby Normal

Look up "The Hunt For 928" on the
https://www.otherhand.org/ website if you haven't already - the owner, Tom Mahood (of Death Valley Germans fame) found the spot in the late 90's after quite a bit of searching.
