Don’t let the legacy of Korean War Veteran Airmen get swept into the dustbin of history. Read this book. Listen to ten B-29 gunners and go with them vicariously as they arose, flew, and fought the air war every day. Go to a meeting of a veterans group, especially a local chapter of the Korean War Veterans Association (https://kwva.us/?page=about_chapters_departments) and just listen to them. Some of them are still dealing with post-traumatic stress disorder and may not want to share their combat experiences. Let them know you appreciate their sacrifice. Give away a copy of Gunners! while you’re there to let them know you care and will remember. Then tell others about the valor of these men so their legacy will not be forgotten.
