WWII veteran recounts his story
A few days after the December 7, 1941 Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, 21 year old Charlie Mohrle volunteered for military service. At the end of WWII, Mohrle completed 97 combat missions, was awarded a Distinguished Flying Cross and Air Medal with 16 Oak Leaf Clusters, European Theater Ribbon with 4 battle Stars and is entitled to wear a Presidential Unit Citation Ribbon.
All those sound important but you have to visit the Flight Museum in Dallas and listen to him recollect his story as a WWII fighter pilot. It was more than 60 years ago but he remembers all the details as every war veteran I am sure would. At the end of his story I couldn't help but again close my eyes and pray for all the brave soldiers around the world fighting everyone else's war.
