32,000 Alabamians served in World War II. 4000 died during the war. Some of you visit Washington D.C. and more than a few of you work here. If you haven't done so, be sure to visit the National World War II Memorial which was dedicated last spring. I knew and know more than a few WWII veterans during the time I lived in Alabama. I am personally acquainted and friends with an Alabamian who survived the Bataan Death March. Paul Lankford and I served together from 1971 until 1977 and I was privileged to help him as he compiled his memoirs for the Air War College in Montgomery in 1972.
