Thanks to all veterans who have honorably served our country.
I want to honor my 7th cousin twice removed, Lieutenant Warren Kenneth Wright, who was shot down on July 4th, 1944. Following is a part of the story which was posted on Find-a-Grave.
Declared dead February 4, 1946
Graduate of Georgia Tech; entered service from Georgia; Plane shot down over Chichi Jima and he and gunner Fred Pryor did not return to USS Yorktown. Book "Flyboys: A True Story of Courage" by James Brady describes witnesses seeing the plane shot down July 4, 1944 over Chichi Jim and one parachute deploying (not know which person it was).
