| I was able to visit the Mighty 8th Air Force museum in GA on the way home from NY 2 days ago. It was very nice to see the museum and the memorial gardens.<br/> <br/> When the museum was visited last year by some of the 401st group..were any pictures taken of the 401st memorial plaques in the memorial garden? I took some and wondered if there were others and is there any interest in sharing them? I was having trouble with weak camera batteries and have not checked to see which ones came out yet...but hopefully most of them will be ok.<br/> <br/> I also wondered if anyone has placed a memorial plaque on the walls there of their family members or loved ones?<br/> <br/> <br/> Jackie <br/><br/><img class='ForumMaxImgWidth' src='http://www.donald-byers.com/JackieSharpSig.jpg' /><br/>

| Well, now, I know of at least two people who took pictures of those plaques. I do not know the name of the first person, he was at the Savannah reunion. The second person shall not be named, but his initials are "yours truly..." <br/><br/><a href='/p2769.ashx'><img class='ForumMaxImgWidth' src='/public/Attachments/ForumNew.MainPage/wmSig401st150p.gif' /></a><br/> <br/>

| Ed,<br/> <br/> Here is a link to the pictures I took. I was not happy to be having trouble with my camera that day of all days...but at least I got a few. I hope others will enjoy seeing some of them.<br/> <br/> <a href='http://travel.webshots.com/album/580582152irrWbv'><img class='ForumMaxImgWidth' src='http://thumb3.webshots.net/t/83/183/5/77/22/2161577220078616563ztxGIS_th.jpg' /></a><br/> <br/> <br/> [http://travel.webshots.com/album/580582152irrWbv]<br/> <br/> Ed..had you thought of adding to the individual plaques with family members? Hope this goes through correctly.<br/> <br/> Jackie <br/><br/><img class='ForumMaxImgWidth' src='http://www.donald-byers.com/JackieSharpSig.jpg' /><br/>

| Not sure how you mean that, Jackie. &#x1f642; Might wanna explain. <br/><br/><a href='/p2769.ashx'><img class='ForumMaxImgWidth' src='/public/Attachments/ForumNew.MainPage/wmSig401st150p.gif' /></a><br/> <br/>

| In the memorial garden there are walls of individual memorial plaques for individuals...other than the crew memorials. I was wondering if you or anyone else in the membership had already added a family or loved ones plaque or thought about it for the future...does that make sense? I probably did not explain myself right...senior moments lately  &#x1F926; <br/> <br/> Jackie <br/><br/><img class='ForumMaxImgWidth' src='http://www.donald-byers.com/JackieSharpSig.jpg' /><br/>

| So basicly you want to see about a sole plaque for your father is that what you are talking about.<br/> <br/> Don <br/><br/>Sgt. Donald C. Byers, 613th Bomb Squadron, Togglier, 42-97344 Carrie B II, KIA 08/24/1944.<br/>

| Don,<br/> <br/> Yes, that is what I am wondering about...I wondered if anyone else had purchased one as well. We were not there long enough (we could have spent a whole day there)to read each individual name on all the walls...so I have been wondering if anyone else had purchased/bought one for a family member. I have been thinking of a plaque for my father, but it will have to wait a while as the trip to NY set us back for the near future.<br/> <br/> <br/> Jackie <br/><br/><img class='ForumMaxImgWidth' src='http://www.donald-byers.com/JackieSharpSig.jpg' /><br/>

| OK, I guess I misunderstood. I was referring to the plaques that involved 401st planes. &#x1f642; <br/><br/><a href='/p2769.ashx'><img class='ForumMaxImgWidth' src='/public/Attachments/ForumNew.MainPage/wmSig401st150p.gif' /></a><br/> <br/>

| I know Joe LaGrasta did but he did it for the whole crew and the aircraft Jill's Jalopy.  I believe Paul Lyall did but don't know if he did it just for his dad or not.  I will give you his email.<br/> <br/> Don <br/><br/>Sgt. Donald C. Byers, 613th Bomb Squadron, Togglier, 42-97344 Carrie B II, KIA 08/24/1944.<br/>
