FORT WAYNE - I don't want to say much here. The photos speak for themselves. While covering this event, I talked to a Army Corp Pilot, Pete Maxfield of Leo. He was a P-51 pilot who was just weeks away from being sent to Europe.

He spoke gratefully for fellow soldiers who sacrificed for him. Quickly mentioning a sailor from Leo, Jack Bricker who was killed while serving in the South Pacific.
All the stories are moving.
Another man was a helicopter pilot in Vietnam. He spoke of flying numerous missions behind enemy lines to rescue men.

The black man told, there were "a lot of white guys. But there was no race there. We are all brothers," He smiled and said, "you might even be my cousin. Think about it, you might."
