This page is dedicated to my late father-in-law John F. Ryan (Army Air Corps in World War II and then career U.S. Air Force), for whom I deeply regret never getting his story down on permanent record. This page lists the men and women I have had the honor to meet and sit down to hear and record their story. Some of the nicest, most humble and patriotic people I have ever met. |
