   I just finished reading the mesmerizing book “Shot Down” by Steve Snyder. A healthy dose of reality and sadness surrounding so many folks. I plan to visit the grave of TSgt. Ross Kahler in Philadelphia next week. His tragic end, plus the photo of his parents flanking his grave stone are calling me to visit and pay tribute.

   p.s. My own late dad was a USAAF radio operator in the European theater, 1943-45.

       Steve, I promise I will do that. Thank you for writing such a poignant story. Your dad was a “boss.” So glad he made it out alive. I live just west of Boston, MA and was traveling to PA to catch a concert and did indeed spend the better part of yesterday searching for Ross’s gravesite, found it after about 2 hours of searching, and had a reflective visit. I wouldn’t have known about him or the other heroes had it not been for your book. I will now watch the documentary, and leave an Amazon review. Thank you, Steve, for enriching lives.
