2nd Lt. Fred Brewer
To honor our fallen heroes, this story highlights the experiences of two World War II veterans. One soldier continues to live at the age of 101, a testament to the sacrifice of another who, at the age of 23, gave his life. While the two never had the chance to meet in person while enlisted, their paths intersected amidst heavily clouded skies over enemy territory in Regensburg, Germany, on a fateful day on October 29, 1944.
