Hello, My name is Terry Lantz. I'm 24 years old, My grandfather is Stanley W. Lantz. He served as a waist-gunner with the 452nd BG. I'm not sure what squadron or what tail number he served on. He is still alive but i just haven't asked him yet. It was an amazing moment to be standing on the same field that my grandfather stood 60+ years ago. I'm a SSgt in the US Air Force, 6 year veteran, and I was only deployed to england for two weeks. I was in Iraq in the beginning of the war 2003. I am an avionics technician on C-5 galaxies. I have been to quite a few places, but standing there on the old Deopham Green Airfield was the HIGHLIGHT of my career. I have the greatest honour and respect for my grandfather and the men he served with. You are true heroes and probably the greatest generation alive today. Thank you.
If anybody has remembers my grandfather Stanley Lantz let me know. tjlantz@yahoo.com
