Re: Capt.Wallace Emmer 354th Fighter Group
A further correction to Jack Cook's post #10 on 17 Feb 08 regarding the photo of Bud receiving a medal:
Capt. Wallace N. Emmer, USAAF is awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross by Lt. Gen. Lewis Brereton on 2 July 44 in Normandy.
(please note that Bud's Silver Star and his OLC & 2nd OLC to his DFC were not authorized until G.O. #267 by HQ 9AF on 13 Nov 44,
over 3 months after he was shot down. His DSC was authorized 22 Sep 44 by G.O. #69 of HQ US Strategic AF in Europe)
