On March 11, 1944, the B-24 bomber nicknamed “Heaven Can Wait” was shot down by Japanese antiaircraft gunners off the coast of the Pacific island of New Guinea. One of the crew member’s remains has been identified this past week, bringing his old letters home back into the news. This letter calls us, on the anniversary of Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address, to “take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion.”
