😭that's so sad, and also deserves the utmost respect. 80 yrs gone by and he still has sadness for that man. your wingman always watches your back, and should never be forgotten, and the fact that this man sheds tears still, shows respect and honor for a true brother. they put their life in each other's hands day in and day out. I can't even imagine the feelings that this man feels.
