"My Grandpa, TSgt. Hubert Dwain Allberry is kneeing in the row middle. He is from Omaha, Nebraska. He was in the hospital on the date the *plane was downed due to a flack/shrapnel injury to his left arm leaving him with a disability in that arm. He passed away on April 16, 1999 and is buried at Forest Lawn Cemetery in Omaha, NE. I get emotional when I look at all these pictures of common men who did and saw things not common to most of us. They did it with no hesitation. The bravery you read about on here like Darrel Lindsey of Fort Dodge, Iowa and others who let their crew bail out while they went down in the plane. May God continue to bless their souls in heaven and their families." - Matthew R. Dierks
