Educating Younger Generations Back
The mission of the 306th Bomb Group Historical Association is to Remember, Honor, and Educate: to remember the air war over Europe – to honor the men who fought it – to education younger generations.
We do a good job of the first two, but the third one is very challenging as World War II fads in people’s memories; especially younger generations who are occupied by the their cell phones, video games, and social media,
