SUMMARY:"Memoirs of a Marauder Man" - Part B
DESCRIPTION:Technical Sergeant Joe Girz flew 57 combat missions in the 
 Mediterranean and European Theaters during World War II\, as a Radio 
 Operator-Waist Gunner in B-26 Martin Marauder bombers.  Flying out of 
 Sardinia\, Corsica\, and Dijon\, France\, between August 1944 and May 
 1945\, he and his crewmates flew bombing missions to hit specific German 
 targets in Italy\, France\, and Germany.\n\nHis son Tom has compiled his 
 father’s diaries\, personal logs\, and official mission records into a 
 thrilling retrospective about true patriotism\, courage\, and survival – 
 not uncommon traits in those we now refer to as The Greatest Generation.  
 \n\nIn this Part B talk - sub-titled “A Matter of Inches” - Tom will 
 continue sharing his father’s wartime stories with some of TSgt Girz’s 
 most closest call missions. Seating is limited and registration is 
 necessary. \n\n \n\nTom Girz lives in Washington Township and has been 
 interested in family history and WWII for 40  years. A career civilian 
 employee of the U.S. Air Force for over 32 years\, Tom held his retirement 
 ceremony from federal service in 2016 at the National Museum of the USAF\, 
 in front of the B-26 Martin Marauder display to commemorate both his\, and 
 his father's service to our nation.
