Description
"Words of mine cannot pay adequate tribute to the skill and courage of the air crews; the unending task of the ground crews, and the loyalty and devotion of all concerned with these missions.
I view this record with a pride that is shared by all who know of you now, and one that will be subsequently lauded by the entire nation.
The first hundred have moulded each group into a trim and efficient fighting unit fully capable of the great task remaining before final victory is achieved. It is my sincerest hope that we are still all together, fighting together when that memorable day arrives."
John K. Gerhart, Brigadier General, U.S.A., Commanding
