VOL. 12, ISS. 4 Feature #4782 -- Carrie says, "I saw a photo on your Uncle Bob's legacy page of some WWll airmen. One was S/Sgt Marion Boren Missing in action 6-14-1943. This is a relative of mine. Do you have any other info on him? Is there any way I could get a copy of that original photo. It is the only one we have found of him. I would really appreciate anything you could share with me. I did find out his plane went down in the English Channel and his body was never recovered. He was flying in the B-17F "Visiting Fireman". He was part of a ten man crew on that plane. Thank you."
