AMM1. Thomas Kick
United States Navy Hedron PATSU7-3 7th Fleet Air Wing
from:St. Louis, Missouri, US
As ground crew chief Dad, Thomas Kick, had to hold a lot of things in, including hosing his buddies' remains out of planes damaged by flak, etc. Flight crew were able to relieve some of that tension by striking back at the enemy.
Somewhere between Dunkeswell, which he left shortly after D-Day and reassignment to the Pacific Theatre, that tension hospitalised him, and prompted a good conduct honourable discharge in April '45. He died at age fifty.
