    Vol. 26, No. 3 SECOND AIR DIVISION ASSOCIATION Fall 1987 May 21, 1987 When you bow your heads, what do you think about? Do you think about their families who can never know where their loved ones are lost. To leave a loved one protected only by the Lord who had to watch the men in the sky flying the B-24s. The people must live without that person filling the space in their hearts. Grandchildren not knowing their real blue-blooded grandparent must then turn to history books. BUT! the ones who survived tell us many stories of men they knew who they want us to remember and spread to new generations. I am glad my grandfather and the people I have met are alive.

STATE OF DELA.."W".ARE EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT W".ALTER "'· BACON DOVER OOVER...�OR July 20, 1948 On March 14, 1944, I wrote to the Public Archives Commission expressing appreciation to them and to the volunteers who assisted them in the collection of data illustrative of Delaware's participation in World War II. At the same time I made the following request: "It occurs to me that your Commission could render further service to the State and its citizens by compiling information of all Delawareans who have, or may lose their lives while serving in the Armed Forces of the United States. It seems to me it would be appropriate to record the names of these honored dead in a memorial volume to be preserved in the State Archives as a heritage for future generations. If this suggested plan is acceptable to your Commission, I hope that this work may begin in the near future.n It is indeed gratifying to learn from a recent Report of the State Archivist that this work has progressed through the war years and is now nearing a completion. Efforts have not been spared to locate the next of kin of these deceased members of the Armed Forces from our State and to verify the facts contained in the biographical sketches on the following pages.
