My Grandfather
This is a picture of my Grandfather, William Franciola. My Grandfather passed away in 1992. I had grown up always knowing that my Grandfather had been in WWII. Until Recently I had never known just what a contribution he made in this war. He served in the Army Air Corp., with the 95th Bombardment Group as a Ball Turret Gunner on the B-17G Flying Fortress. He was awarded the the "Air Medal" for "Meritorious Acheivement" while in the 8th Air Force bombing attacks on vital industrial targets in Germany and on Nazi Airfields. He also recived Two "Presidential Citations" for leading "THE FIRST BOMBING ATTACKS ON TARGETS IN GERMANY!!" My Grandfather is a HERO in my eyes!! As I serve in todays United States Air Force, I can only look back and feel pride and hope that I am living up to what he had done in the past and can only wish that he had lived long enough to see me now so I could tell him how proud I AM OF HIM!! I Love and miss ya Pop!
