A relative I never knew. Robert Black Baumer, a veteran of World War II, flew 51 missions over Europe. Served on a B-29A Superfortress during the Korean War. Shot down during a night mission over what is now Kwaksan, North Korea, 10 June 1952. He was never found. May we never forget.

A very decorated relative. We will never forget.

An unsung hero. Thanks for some reflection on what today really means.

During some genealogical research into family, I discovered not only a Civil War Veteran relative, but a Revolutionary War Vet who was in most of the major engagements.
It brought my family history and their service into sharp focus for me.
