He passed away Sept 16, 2007. I was very sorry to hear that Mr. Halpin had passed away. God Bless them All ! We should always remember what all these men did for us. We in the American Legion try to keep that alive.

I am really curious if any of the crew are left alive. I have many keepsakes my grandfather left me from the war and have always been really interested what it was like during the war. Being only 35 years old I try to keep the memory of my grandfather alive and I am still in awe at what these men sacrificed in the war. God Bless all these men. Keep the memory alive.

Donald? Can you assist with Jon regarding who is still with us? Assuming, of course, that you haven't responded to him privately? 🙂

I only have the 2005 Directory put out by the 401st which does not list any of this crew as members nor does it list possible relatives of the crew.
Sorry I couldn't help more.

Thank you both for the reply's and for checking on information for the crew of the Command Performance. I will keep investigating to see who might be left alive from his crew. I was also wondering if someone could direct me to additional resources or links to find out more information about my grandfathers time in the service. I don't know if military records are available.
Again thank you, I appreciate the help.
Jon
