VETERANS DAY 2019
466th Bomb Group Memorial
Attlebridge Air Field- Weston-Longville, Norfolk
While attending the Annual 8th Air Force Historical Society Reunion in St. Louis, a group of 466th BGA members spent one October morning placing flowers on the graves of five 466thcrews at Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery. These were crews whose aircraft were so severely damaged that individual remains could not be identified. The crews are interred in a common grave. The one grave contains the remains of two crews that were downed on the same day in close proximity to each other over Europe. All were originally interred in Europe. After the war, the graves were repatriated to Jefferson Barracks.
The group placing flowers (left to right): Steve Jordon, Frank Youngquist, Beverly Tomb, Helen Jordon, Martha Curtis, Marcia Melnyk. Bill Curtis was the photographer.
