From: David Cochran
Building: 10333 Richmond-Houston
Veteran’s name: David Leon Cochran. Sr.
Branch of Service: US Army
Message: Many Thanks for allowing us to honor our Heroes!
I wanted to share some memories about my Dad, MSG David Leon Cochran, Sr. (Leon); I hope Ya’ll don’t mind.
All my family knew he was a WWII Veteran and USAF 1956 ”Outstanding Airman of the Year” as well as a Purple Heart and Distinguished Flying Cross recipient (early on, it was Army/Airforce combined) . But, he rarely shared the details of his military history.
I’ve been researching and learned a few years ago that he survived 22 combat missions! I also remember one of his most significant stories from 1943; combat mission over the North Sea. His plane, a B-17 was shot down. My Dad was a tail-turret gunner in this mission. The plane took heavy damage, many aboard, including my Dad, were injured with shrapnel, some critically. They floated around The North Sea in a dinghy and were finally rescued by a Norwegian fishing boat. I found details of that mission in The American Air Museum and a Sortie Report and I’m happy to see it memorialized with all the detail in a book “A. Hjorth Rasmussen: Det er nødvendigt at sejle Fiskeri- og Søfartsmuseet. Saltvandsakvariet, Esbjerg, 1980” Dave Cochran, Cambridge, England-384th Bombardment Group / 544thSquadron
“Aircraft Data: B-17F; Name: WEARY WILLIE aka NO NAME JIVE. My Dad passed from cancer when I was 13. I wish I had asked more questions. Thanks Again, God Bless the USA, David Leon Cochran, Jr.
From: Robyn Peck
Building: Encore Commons-Alpharetta
Veteran’s name: Capt. James Tucker
Branch of Service: US Air Force
Message: While I realize this is probably more suitable for Memorial Day, I want to thank a POW-MIA from the Vietnam War who never came home to be a Veteran. Back in the 1970’s, POW-MIA bracelets were made with the names of those held prisoner or missing. My bracelet was for Capt. James Tucker. I wore it for many years and always kept it among my precious belongings. With advances in technology, I was able to finally learn more about him. You can also with the link below. He was only 24 years old when he went missing and no remains have ever been returned. I want to thank him, his parents, and the rest of his family for his ultimate service to our country. He is not forgotten.
