Daniel took his time responding. After surviving an aircraft crash, Thomas was apprehended and imprisoned until he and other American service members were freed in 1973.So why wasn’t I informed?
Daniel paused.I’m not sure. You lost contact after the war, he informed us.”Lost contact?”He stated as much.
I gazed at Daniel.”How did you come across me?”Your college photo was saved by your grandfather. He recalled your town. I came across an item about your memorial visits and your retirement interview in the school newsletter.How did you find out that I would be here today?According to the report, you go to the memorial on his birthday each year. There is only one arrivals exit at the nearest airport. I arrived early because I had no idea which airplane you would take.”And you knew who I was?”A current photo of you from the retirement interview was included.
