That’s how many working parents would describe themselves while try- ing to juggle work and school-aged chil- dren’s distance learning. “Tired is my middle name,” joked Capt.

The Orozcos face the standard chal- lenges of having a growing family; how- ever, with in-school classes canceled since the beginning of the school year, it has made life even more challenging. While on maternity leave, Oroz- co still manages to catch up with work, meet her newborn’s demands and en- sure her school-aged children stay on track with schoolwork while at the Tra- vis AFB Youth Center. Despite their busy schedules, the Orozcos make sure their children get all the support they need, not just academi- cally, but also mentally. “We keep an open dialogue with our children for them to express concerns they’ve had since COVID-19 came about,” said Orozco. “We encourage and support them the best way we can, and try to address any concerns that come U.S. Air Force photo/Chustine Minoda up.

    12th Air Force, 57th Bombardment Wing 321st Bombardment Group History: September 1943 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For my dad, Colonel John “Jack” Fitzgerald, U.S. Army (deceased) “Lil Butch” John T. Fitzgerald, SMSgt, U.S. Air Force (retired) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 12th Air Force, 57th Bombardment Wing 321st Bombardment Group History: September 1943 The following is a compilation of the 321st Bomb Group’s Headquarters and individual Squadron War Diaries. They have been transcribed word for word, from the Squadron Histories provided by the Air Force Historical Research Agency (AFHRA), Maxwell Air Force Base Alabama. At the end of each Squadron’s daily entry, the individuals cited in the entry are identified by full name, rank and duty, in alphabetical order. The day’s entry begins with the Tactical Operations Statement, from the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) Chronology, for the Mediterranean Theater of Operations (MTO). The history also includes mission reports, mission crew rosters, Missing Air Crew Reports (MACR), personal mission logs, journals, and diaries made available by various sources. Invitation Anyone who has documentation pertaining to the 321st Bomb Group or its members, and would like to have it included in this history, is welcome to participate. Copies of: photos (official or personal); orders (promotion, decoration, travel, etc.); Mission Reports; Missing Air Crew Reports; personal diaries, logs, journals, etc; other documentation; or information that will help identify hi-lited individuals will be greatly appreciated, as one of my goals is to correctly identify every man and plane assigned to the 321st Bomb Group. My only interest in this project is to honor those who served by perpetuating their story, and making it available for future generations, particularly the families and friends of our Great Heroes.

Gee 1st Lt, 703rd Bomb Squadron, 445th Bomb Group (H) HOW TO READ THE ENCLOSED DOCUMENTS The Cover is self-explained except for aircraft silhouette. The image is either a photograph (if possible) of the aircraft flown on the first mission, or a color image with the appropriate markings. The approved logo for the 445th Bomb Group (Heavy) and the appropriate squadron patch mark the top of the cover. Each group within the Second Air Division could be identified by individual group marking on the tail fin/rudder assembly. Originally, the 445th was identified with a large white circle on the upper portion of the fin with the letter ‘F’ in the middle. Below that was the aircraft’s radio call letter. Early in 1944, the designation was changed to a solid black fin with a horizontal white stripe. The radio call letter was placed in the center of the stripe.
