I pray that God will be close to 1776 during this part of his life, and that he won't be alone, and that he will be granted the time to love his loved ones...

A few years back when OZ (1776) and I were both still in AWIII I was guffing around with a Japanese Kate with a Torpedo on board. I was flying about 50' off the water when this F4U started to dive on me. At the last moment I pulled up into him and fired those puny guns it has and watch in total amazement as OZ splashed down and I recieved a kill for it because I hit him before he hit the water.

After this I started a long email message that went something like this to OZ's CO at the time.

It is my duty to report to you that on this day one of your pilots died in action flying his favorite F4U. This action was the result of being shot down by a Japanese kate which I was the pilot of. It when on with detail about the flight and all.

The next few days went by with no OZ  online so another email was started that OZ has been found and is now a prisoner of our country and we are willing to make a deal for his return. CO's response was I think if OZ was shot down by a kate then keep him. And do not let him start singing hell drive you all nutts. Next reply I said OZ is now singing and if you dont make a deal we will have to hang him for unfair punishment. This went on for about 2 weeks or so when we finally made a deal to let him go and walk home, CO hope he get tired of singin by the time he got back.

Not ready to give up on him yet cancer can be beat nowadays and this is one of the curable one I believe. Let all pray its early enough to get it.
