An Amazing Story of Bravery and the Strong Bonds Forged in War… Beginning on D-Day

This is a small lot consisting of documentation from Robert Brosa regarding the story of the acquisition of these Josten made Command Pilot Wings during World War II at its height.  I am not going to take away any of the fascination with hearing this story for the first time.  The wings are clearly displayed in the gallery above and below is a link to the PDF scan of the signed letter from Robert Brosa detailing the amazing journey these wings took from World War II to when Robert was looking for the right home for this legacy his family has stored and maintained across two generations starting with his Family members of The French Resistance and a downed the 8TH Air Force pilot who flew out of England.  Robert is the child of a soldier and a resistance fighter and daughter to a French Family which our Lord bringing brought together as an intrepid soldier took the perilous trek from the D-Day landing on Omaha Beach and following the path of arduous victory directly through France and unto Germany.  Enjoy this small lot with incredibly large and lasting imagery.

About militariawingswwii
Collector of US Military Aviation Wings -- From Aviation Section Signal Corps and the 1913 Military Aviator Badge first made at Rock Island Arsenal to the USAAF Flight Engineer Badge in 1945, the last of WWII....I collect to show the badges and speak of the Message they represent. God is the Sovereign over all History and the Men He commissions to carry out His Good and Glorious Will, either to the Glory of His Justice in the destruction of tyranny and evil or the Glory of His Grace and Mercy and Providence in the Victory of the Righteous in Him alone; and NEVER by MAN alone. For man is destitute unto discovery of vanity, born unto a sinful heart of evil, until Christ Alone...Man's One Hope unto Life and Love ...dawns, by God's Graceful Election Alone, on the horizon of the Sinner's Heart of Stone. These men fought for the freedom to Live Righteouly, guided by God's Irrefutable Law and enabled to live in accord with it by Christ's Work; not to live in bondage to sin as feral perversions addicted to our appetites; which America champions as the highest perverted "good" now. Isaiah 3:20 "Woe to those who call evil as good.." These Warriors of the Sky, in their hearts, wanted to fight for Righteousness and Glory to God, even if they were forced to fight politically for evil ends in later wars. I know as I have spoken with many and cared for dying vets. This site is to honor that Glorious Purpose of Righteousness with which they served as Pioneers of the Great Battlefield of the Firmament. Be Blessed and Enjoy the Wings Gentlemen
