When Karen Nelson Cox found the letters her Uncle Bob wrote to his parents, she knew she had to compile them in a single resource. Although her uncle died shortly before she was born, Karen grew up hearing stories of his bravery as a pilot during World War II. The entire family knew how as a twenty-year-old lieutenant, Bob Ogren completed twenty-three bombing missions over Germany. Hit by enemy flack on his next mission, he kept his B-17 bomber in the air until his crew all parachuted to safety. By then his plane was too low and he went down with it near the front lines during the Battle of the Bulge. In this tribute, the author shares the letters Bob wrote to his parents, which were filled with his musings on the joys of flying, his concern for his parents, and his unshakeable belief that God was in control. Through the letters she hopes to help her extended family learn more about Uncle Bob -and to inspire others through his deep faith. Bob willingly paid the supreme sacrifice, as did many others in World War II, for the sake of his country, America. He lived his short life well with the desire to honor his earthly father and his Heavenly Father. All of us are blessed by Bob's spiritual legacy.
