When freedom and democracy were in peril, an entire generation answered the call. Our grandfathers and grandmothers put aside their hopes and dreams to save the world less than a lifetime ago and still refuse to be called heroes. The least you can do is post a photo in their honor!

World War II-era plane takes flight
“We were happy,” said Hager, who worked on the plane’s wiring and detailing.“We’d been waiting on this for a long time.”
Hager stumbled upon the project after moving to Franklin two years ago. “I wandered in here and said ‘I’d like to work on the plane,’” he said. “They handed me a wrench and said ‘get to work.’”
The plane had been used for observation in the Pacific during WWII and Korea.
