Compelling stories: Jim Brooks, WWII ace

February 19, 2008

We all knew that last years Gathering of Mustangs and Legends was a monumental event.  Compelling and inspirational stories were documented there, and it isn’t until now that we are beginning to get genuine glimpses of what that event was able to do.  I’m confident that many more stories, like this one, will come from GML 2007.  I can’t wait to see them all. 

This story is of Jim Brooks, the WWII who piloted the P-51, February.  The most touching element of this story is how the restoration of this aircraft has inspired and touched the lives of Jim’s grandchildren who are young adults now.  Trust me, you’ll enjoy this trailer.

"Don't go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first." Mark Twain

Quote 2

From Marine Corps Chaplain Father Dennis O'Brien: "It is the soldier, not the poet who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the reporter who has given us freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer who has given us the freedom to demonstrate. And it is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves beneath the flag, and whose coffin is draped by the flag, who gives the protester the right to burn the flag." found on: www.robreider.com
