Today, I had the pleasure of sharing a lunch table with Chester and Jim.
Jim, at right, is a World War II veteran, who was training as a pilot to fly the B-25 Mitchell, a two engine bomber. He completed his training on May 24, 1945, only days after VE Day, so he never saw combat.
Chester, at left, was just a boy during WWII, and he saw the bombers from a very different angle… from the ground in Poland and Germany. Fortunately, he and his family managed to stay safe during the war.
The two men are friends, and both came to attend the Arsenal of Democracy Conference today in Ypsilanti.
