Soon I will add a brief biography of my special friend, Joe O’Donnell, POW 1414. He has been my mentor and, when I’ve had questions, I could depend on Joe for the answers or advice on where to find them. I considered him as a stand-in for my Father and he helped me to fill gaps in the story. I could write a paragraph or chapter and send it to him to verify that I had it right! I look forward to including him among “My Heroes” as he has played a critical role in the success of my mission to keep the memory alive. He may be my most difficult to write about hero because I’ve learned so much from him and not just about the role of a ball turret gunner and POW. There is so much that I can say about him. He has become my very dear friend and I feel fortunate and honored to know him. I hope that I can do him justice!
