Probably one of the proudest moments to those who volunteered to fly combat missions as a gunner or crew chief was the day they were awarded their Combat Aircrew Insignia to wear on a permanent basis.  Your webmaster has included Cpl. Martin L. Edwards citation so all can recall the day theirs was received and what it said.  "Uncle Frank" expresses his thanks guys, you made the aircrew team complete.
